ICAEW sits on the board of the e-commerce trade commission, which aims to support up to 70,000 more SMEs to start or grow their export business. The commission is producing two policy papers that will include policy recommendations to address barriers to businesses selling online to overseas customers.

To inform the papers, the commission is holding evidence sessions around the country. ICAEW members are encouraged to get involved and share their experience. The sessions are primarily aimed at SMEs who are looking to export or who have recently started exporting. Members in practice who may have experience of supporting businesses in this position are also invited to share their views.

The following sessions are currently planned:

To register your interest in any of the sessions, please contact Ed Saltmarsh. Venues for the other in-person sessions will be announced in due course.
