The deadline to apply for a grant under the SME Brexit Support Fund is fast approaching. The grant scheme was established to provide training and professional advice to businesses new to importing and exporting as they transition to the new VAT and customs rules. It is available to businesses with up to 500 employees and no more than £100m in annual turnover. Further eligibility requirements are detailed on HMRC’s information page. The maximum grant is £2,000, and applications close on 30 June 2021. The total amount of funding is, however, limited. Applications will close early if all funding is allocated before this date.
