BUSINESSES are being urged by Assembly Members to ensure they are prepared for Brexit.

Hannah Blythyn, AM for Delyn, and Jack Sargeant AM for Alyn and Deeside, have urged businesses across Flintshire and beyond to ensure they seek advice from Business Wales’s Brexit Portal.

Business Wales is a free service that provides impartial, independent support and advice to people starting, running and growing a business in Wales.

With regional centres across the country, they offer a mixture of online and face-to-face support, as well as training workshops and individual advice.

It is just a matter of weeks until the UK leaves the EU but the UK Government’s approach to Brexit means businesses in Wales are still left with many unanswered questions about what the future holds.

Ms Blythyn said: “A 'no deal' Brexit would be bad for Wales and bad for businesses in Delyn, and alongside the Welsh Government, I will continue to speak out against this outcome.

“It remains important, however, that businesses in our area ensure they are prepared for all eventualities.

“The actions of the UK Government to run down the clock are making the prospect of leaving the EU without a deal more likely.

“I would encourage businesses to visit the Business Wales portal and find out about the support that is available.

"It is easy to use and more information can be found on the Business Wales website."
