<p>The Department is maintaining efforts to ensure businesses across the UK are ready
to leave the EU on 31 October. We are pursuing a range of actions to promote awareness
and understanding of what businesses, including SMEs, need to do.</p><p>We have published
an SME Brexit guidance leaflet and launched a series of Get Ready Roadshows. These
specifically target SMEs with information and advice and ensure intermediaries, such
as banks and accountants, have the information needed to support businesses. We also
recently unveiled a £10 million Business Readiness Fund for business organisations
and trade associations to support businesses across the UK in understanding the steps
they should take to prepare for 31 October.</p><p>Along with key local partners, the
Humber LEP and Growth Hub are playing an important role in helping to deliver events
and provide information to support local businesses. We will also be hosting a Brexit
Business Readiness Event in Hull on 3 October.</p>
