Brexit deal offers businesses new freedoms and red tape

An hour before New Year’s Day, at 11pm on 31 December 2020, the UK completed its formal departure from the European Union (EU). It was an unceremonious conclusion to the four-and-a-half-year saga since the referendum. Nevertheless, a new era has now begun – with new freedoms and new bureaucracies. On Christmas Eve, the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) was agreed. Together with 2019’s Withdrawal Agreement, these two treaties now govern the UK’s future trading relationship with its largest, and nearest, neighbour – worth around £670bn in 2019.

Covid debt mountain looms when pandemic finally brought to heel

The latest UK national lockdown represents a new kind of challenge for the Government: to articulate to Covid-weary households and businesses that things will soon get better, but first they will worsen. An ambitious national vaccination campaign is underway, raising hopes that the end of the pandemic is in sight. However, at the same time we are in the grip of the virus with rates of infection soaring, exacerbated by a virulent new strain. The latest lockdown aims to protect the NHS and save lives, but it will also increase business failures. Indeed, once Covid-19 is finally brought to heel, the next challenge will be the Covid corporate debt mountain, amassed by companies forced to accept additional leverage through government loan schemes to bolster their survival prospects.

Pandemic to accelerate SME’s embrace of alternative lenders

The maturity of the UK’s private debt market over the last decade represents a significant silver lining for growth-focused SMEs navigating the intensifying second wave of the pandemic. Back in 2008, UK high street banks controlled over 90% of the SME market for refinancing and new lending, but they were also at the epicentre of the crisis, which limited liquidity.
