Amharc ar fhreagraThe “Brexit SME Scorecard” launched by Enterprise Ireland (EI) in March 2017, is a new interactive online platform which can be used by Irish companies to self-assess their exposure to Brexit. By completing the online questionnaire, the Brexit SME Scorecard will provide companies with an assessment of their preparedness under six key pillars - Business Strategy, Operations, Innovation, Sales and Marketing, Finance and People Management. The Scorecard then generates an immediate report which contains suggested actions, resources and information on events in order to prepare for Brexit.
The SME Scorecard is available to all companies looking to develop an action plan to help mitigate risks and leverage opportunities which may arise from Brexit.
To date, 1,100 companies have used the EI Brexit Scorecard to help assess their level of preparedness for Brexit. Of these, 350 companies have voluntarily indicated their company size.
Table 1 gives details of these companies.
Version 2 of the Brexit Scorecard was launched on 30 May and this incorporates company size into the Scorecard.
