&lt;p&gt;With the passing of the Withdrawal Agreement, we officially left the EU at 11pm on 31st January 2020. We have now entered a transitional period during which we will abide by EU rules despite no longer being a member. The transition period is scheduled to end on 31st December 2020. Whilst we negotiate the future trade agreement relationship with the EU, what actions should businesses be considering when preparing for either a no-deal or limited deal transition and the positive steps that business owners can take now to ensure the continuing success of their organizations?&lt;/p&gt;
