The Government is currently considering how best to support businesses across the country in the event of a no deal exit from the EU.<\/p>

<\/p>

The first port of call for a business facing cashflow issues should be commercial lending. As the Bank of England have said, UK banks are well-prepared, well-capitalised, and publicly committed to continuing to lend to viable businesses.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government has introduced significant and widespread measures to aid SMEs\u2019 preparations for Brexit. We have created a £108m Brexit Business Preparedness Pot \u2013 which is being allocated across government.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government is supporting the North through devolution deals for, among others, Manchester, Liverpool, and, most recently, North of Tyne, as well as through over £13 billion of investment in better transport across the north. In addition, we have invested over £3 billion from the local growth fund in the region since 2015, and we committed at the last Budget to announce a renewed northern powerhouse strategy.<\/p>

<\/p>

In the event the UK leaves the EU without a deal, the Government has guaranteed funding for certain EU funded projects agreed before the end of 2020. This includes EU funded research projects, where UK organisations successfully bid directly to the European Commission on a competitive basis, and ensures that UK charities, businesses and universities, will continue to receive funding over a project\u2019s lifetime, even in a no deal scenario.<\/p>
