An updated Essential Guide for Business ahead of the end of the UK's transition period for leaving the EU has been produced by the States of Guernsey's Committee for Economic Development.
It is being circulated to business groups and is available on gov.gg/Brexit, and the States is urging businesses to review the guide and consider how they may be affected by the end of the transition period on 31 December.
The document covers areas such as employing EU citizens, importing and exporting goods, data sharing and data protection.
It is not yet known if the UK and the EU will agree a deal before the end of the transition period, or if the UK will leave with no further negotiated outcome, which means there is still a lot of uncertainty as to what it will mean for Guernsey and local businesses.
Businesses are nonetheless strongly encouraged to consider what impact the different outcomes may have and what steps they should take in preparation.
Chris Morris, Lead for International Trade Relations and Engagement, said: "The States, through our team, the Guernsey Border Agency and sea fisheries, have been contacting businesses directly where we know there are measures they need to put in place ahead of 31 December.
"But we want all businesses to be as prepared as possible, so we encourage them to read the guide, follow the links where appropriate to our website, where there is further guidance, and where they've got particular concerns, get in touch with us via trade@gov.gg."
