Most cross-Irish border traders 'completely unprepared' for no deal

Only 6% ready for legal and cashflow implications of crashing out of EU, shows report

Most businesses in the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland that trade across the border are completely unprepared for a hard Brexit, according to a report.

Only 6% are ready for cashflow and liquidity problems if the UK leaves the EU without a deal on 31 October, according to a survey commissioned by InterTradeIreland, a body that advises small and medium-sized companies.
