The Government has made available a £20 million Brexit Support Fund which is specifically for small to medium-sized enterprises to help them access practical support, including training for new customs, rules of origin and VAT processes.

The fund which was originally announced in February by Michael Gove, is the latest round of government support for UK trade. Businesses that trade solely with the EU are encouraged to apply for the grants before the closing date of 30 June 2021.
