Small and large companies across Suffolk and Norfolk are being urged to prepare themselves for big changes on January 1 - even those who don t trade overseas.
New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) says even firms who think they are not affected by Brexit because they don t export or import goods might find they are after all.
As well as those who sell into the European Union (EU), businesses which employ overseas nationals will need to prepare for a new immigration system, and people travelling to the EU for work will need to check whether they need a visa or work permit. UK firms receiving personal data via the European Economic Area will need to make sure data is flowing legally. Anyone providing services in the EU will also need to make sure their qualifications are recognised by the EU.
