BREXIT CRUNCH: BARCLAYS launches business advice clinic network express.co.uk

Barclays is hosting over 100 clinics across the UK for businesses from March to help firms navigate the latest stages of Brexit. The events for SMES and corporate clients will be held in branches and Eagle Labs, the bank’s co-working innovation spaces, and have 1,500 relationship managers on hand discussing managing cash-flow and working capital, exporting goods abroad, supply chain management, labour, and protecting businesses against fraud. The clinics will also look at using data and technology to help boost trade, from apps and automation, through to the bank’s partnership with Fintech MarketInvoice, providing funding against outstanding invoices.
