Leaving the European Union (EU)

The United Kingdom (UK) has left the European Union (EU). Leaving the EU means there are changes that affect individuals and businesses.

Information and advice for residents and businesses

The government website GOV.UK has information and advice about Brexit:

EU Settlement Scheme

If you're an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen, you and your family can apply to the EU Settlement Scheme to continue living in the UK after 30 June 2021. The deadline for applying is 30 June 2021. You must usually have started living in the UK by 31 December 2020.

Information and advice for businesses and employers

Doing business with Europe has changed. Businesses need to follow new rules on exports, imports, tariffs, data and hiring. See the government's Brexit checker to find out what you need to do.

The EU Settlement Scheme allows your employees and their close family members to continue to live and work in the UK. You can use the EU Settlement Scheme - Employer Toolkit to explain the scheme to your employees. It contains a range of ready to use leaflets and posters.

Support and advice from the Marches Growth Hub

The Marches Growth Hub provides advice and information to help businesses navigate the new rules.
