How Brexit Affects International Debt Collections

The consequences of Brexit

As a part of the European Union, the rules related to all industries in Britain are linked to the EU governed rules. In the same manner, Britain’s insolvency regime is intertwined with rules on tax, property, and employment, which are also linked with European rules. According to economists, Britain’s exit or Brexit from the EU will have a ripple effect on the country’s relationships, damaging confidence and investment. The state of the future UK economy will depend on various terms of departure as well as the current economic climate change that is occuring.

While Britain’s future is uncertain, these events will undoubtable have a major impact on domestic and international debt collection, including an increased risk of late payment or even non-payment, at least temporarily.

Before exiting the EU, Britain benefited from over 50 EU-established trade agreements with the rest of the world. As the UK becomes an independent nation, these trade agreements need to be renegotiated, which will affect the country’s economy. Trade deals for countries that rely on the EU trade laws have to be renegotiated as well. Brexit will also change how corporate insolvency works in the UK. In addition, Brexit could make it harder for businesses to retrieve assets on behalf of creditors across Europe.

One way to wade through UK and EU’s complex debt collection rules is to hire a trusted debt collection firm to take care of the process as the whole world braces for Brexit’s economic impact. it is important for business owners to seek out professional, informed and regulated advice to determine what options they have as Britain exits the EU.
