One of the principal means through which InterTrade Ireland (ITI) is assisting businesses in preparing for the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union is the body’s Brexit Advisory Service. Established in May 2017, it provides advice for SMEs to help them navigate any changes in the cross-border trading environment that may arise. As part of the service, ITI offers a "Start to Plan" voucher, worth up to €2250, which helps companies to get professional advice on how best to plan and prepare for Brexit. To date, over 600 such vouchers have been approved for companies. A breakdown by county level is set out below.
