Red tape (18%), the cost of international trade (18%), logistics (17%), and getting paid (14%) are all very real barriers to international growth.

One of the Midlands’ largest accounting and business advisers, Duncan & Toplis has launched a new international brand for companies seeking guidance on international trade.
Shortly before Christmas, the UK and the EU agreed a new trade deal which is now in place, bringing a new degree of certainty and optimism to businesses on both sides of the English Channel.
With less than a month to go until the end of the Brexit transition period, it’s an important time to take stock and assess how Brexit might impact your business.
The UK left the EU on the 31 January 2020, but this went largely unnoticed because the UK then began an 11 month-long transition period which will end on the 31 December 2020.
As Brexit approaches, it’s likely that some sectors are going to be impacted more than others.
A survey carried out before and during the COVID-19 pandemic suggests that most companies which were planning to export or trade overseas cancelled or delayed their plans due to the pandemic.
Kreston International, a global network of independent accounting firms, has appointed Duncan & Toplis’ head of tax advisory services, Mark Taylor, as its new Head of International Tax.
We’re carrying out an ambitious survey into the attitudes and aspirations of businesses regarding international trade.
With Brexit still being far from predictable, UK businesses find themselves in an unenviable position. Do they prepare for years of disruption, import tariffs, conflicting standards and miles of red tape, or will the conclusion of the Brexit process lead to a simple, clear and frictionless trading environment that opens up new opportunities?
