Brexit.Trade
Access over 500,000 Buyers - Across the Trade Gateways Programme
About This Site
Brexit.Trade is part of the Trade Gateways Programme operated by Local Merchant Services. Following Brexit, the UK can strike its own deals for buying and selling goods and services around the world. A Trade Agreement facilitates trade - usually in goods but sometimes in services too - by making it cheaper.
While the UK was an EU member, it was automatically part of around 40 trade deals which the EU had struck with more than 70 countries. Post Brexit, however, there is a need for the UK to be able to access markets outside the EU that the UK has its own trade deals with. Trade Gateways are required for this to happen well. This site provides access to such Trade Gateways, and provides access to customized services and IBM Services
