Research released today by BusinessTransformation.com shows two-thirds of UK businesses believe they won’t feel the impact of leaving Europe, yet only a third of the companies questioned have a strategic plan in place to deal with Brexit.
The survey finds 57% of UK businesses are prioritising growth this year despite the political backdrop. The top reason cited for holding companies back was access to finance with an abundance of red tape following closely behind.

“Of the organisations we surveyed, we were surprised to hear that so few had a strategy in place for how they will deal with Brexit, with many feeling they won’t be impacted at all. This is an issue that transcends sector and scale of business as we see policymaking shift back to the UK.
