View answerIn 2017, Enterprise Ireland developed and launched a Brexit SME Scorecard, an interactive online platform which can be used by all Irish companies to self-assess their exposure to Brexit under six business pillars. The Brexit Scorecard remains a very informative tool to help companies understand their Brexit exposure and generate a Brexit action plan.
To date 7,211 scorecards have been completed. The Scorecard is promoted through discussions with Enterprise Ireland clients and also through Enterprise Ireland and Local Enterprise Office online channels. Enterprise Ireland is now encouraging clients to review these Brexit action plans and put in place the implementation steps necessary to be ready for the end of the transition period on the 1st of January 2021.
