The Welsh Government is committed to doing all it can to help businesses in Wales prepare for Brexit.  


Business Wales’ Brexit Portal is now well established to provide up\-to\-date information and advice on a range of relevant business topics including trading internationally and workforce planning. It also houses an interactive diagnostic tool which businesses can use to assess their level of preparedness and better understand what else they can do.  To date, 29,510 businesses have used the portal.  


Business Wales has also delivered a series of Brexit related workshops across Wales during the past few weeks to help companies become fully aware of appropriate preparedness tools and additional sources of support.  The workshops have been very well received with over 150 organisations attending. Further sessions are planned though to the end of March which complement a national Brexit resilience marketing campaign aimed at preparing businesses for the challenges and opportunities ahead.


I would urge the businesses which have not yet drawn on these resources to do so.


To support businesses with the financial burdens arising from Brexit, in 2018, £7\.5m from the European Transition Fund was allocated to support business resilience.  Part of this funding is being made available for businesses to directly support the costs of preparing for Brexit. The fund is administered via Business Wales which has received a higher than anticipated volume of applications for funding since it was launched in November 2018\. 


We recognise the importance of continuing to offer this financial support so I am pleased to announce today that an additional £1\.7m is being allocated for 2019\-20 to enable Business Wales to keep the fund open.  This will enable small and medium sized businesses across Wales, which are registered with Business Wales, to bid for between £10,000 and £100,000 of Welsh Government funding, to a maximum of half of their Brexit\-related project costs.  Applicants to the fund need to demonstrate that their project will help safeguard jobs during the uncertain time leading up to and after Brexit.


The Welsh Government is doing all it can to support firms in Wales through these extraordinary times.  It is important for us to have commitment from the UK Government that it, too, will act positively and swiftly – and use the significant economic levers it has at its disposal \- to support our business community and our economy more broadly through this difficult period.

Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo i wneud popeth o fewn ei gallu i helpu busnesau i baratoi ar gyfer Brexit.  


 


Mae Porth Brexit Busnes Cymru wedi ennill ei blwyf erbyn hyn ac mae'n rhoi'r wybodaeth a'r cyngor diweddaraf i gwmnïau yng Nghymru am amrywiaeth o faterion pwysig, gan gynnwys masnachu rhyngwladol a chynllunio’r gweithlu. Mae hefyd yn cynnig pecyn diagnostig rhyngweithiol y gall busnesau ei ddefnyddio i asesu pa mor barod ydynt ar gyfer Brexit a i ddeall yn well beth arall y gallant ei wneud. Hyd yma, mae 29,510 o fusnesau wedi troi at y porth.  


Mae Busnes Cymru wedi cynnal cyfres o weithdai ar Brexit ledled Cymru hefyd yn ystod yr wythnosau diwethaf er mwyn helpu cwmnïau i ddod i wybod am becynnau priodol i'w helpu i baratoi, ac er mwyn rhoi gwybod iddynt o le y gallant gael rhagor o wybodaeth. Mae'r gweithdai wedi cael derbyniad da iawn ac mae dros 150 o sefydliadau wedi bod ynddynt. Bwriedir cynnal rhagor o sesiynau tan ddiwedd mis Mawrth a bydd y sesiynau hynny’n ategu ymgyrch farchnata genedlaethol ar ymdopi â Brexit er mwyn paratoi busnesau ar gyfer yr heriau a'r cyfleoedd sydd o’u blaenau.


Hoffwn annog y busnesau hynny sydd heb fanteisio eto ar yr adnoddau hyn i wneud hynny.  


I helpu busnesau gyda'r pwysau ariannol sydd arnynt yn sgil Brexit, dyrannwyd £7\.5m o'r Gronfa Bontio Ewropeaidd yn 2018 er mwyn helpu busnesau i feithrin y gallu i ymdopi. Mae rhan o'r cyllid hwnnw ar gael i fusnesau er mwyn rhoi cymorth uniongyrchol iddynt â'r costau sy'n gysylltiedig â pharatoi ar gyfer Brexit. Busnes Cymru sy'n gweinyddu'r gronfa hon ac mae wedi cael mwy o geisiadau am gyllid na'r disgwyl ers iddi gael ei lansio ym mis Tachwedd 2018\.


Rydym yn cydnabod pa mor bwysig yw parhau i gynnig y cymorth ariannol hwn felly, rwyf yn falch o gyhoeddi heddiw fod swm ychwanegol o £1\.7m yn cael ei ddyrannu ar gyfer 


2019\-20 fel y bo Busnesu Cymru yn parhau i fedru rhoi cymorth o'r gronfa. Bydd busnesau bach a chanolig ledled Cymru sydd wedi cofrestru gyda Busnes Cymru yn gallu gwneud cais am swm rhwng £10,000 a £100,000 oddi wrth Lywodraeth Cymru, hyd at uchafswm o hanner costau eu prosiect Brexit.  Mae angen i'r rheini a fydd yn cyflwyno cais i'r gonfa ddangos y bydd eu prosiect yn helpu i ddiogelu swyddi yn ystod y cyfnod ansicr cyn Brexit ac ar ei ôl.


Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn gwneud popeth o fewn ei gallu i gefnogi busnesau yng Nghymru yn ystod y cyfnod eithriadol hwn. Mae'n bwysig ein bod yn cael ymrwymiad oddi wrth Lywodraeth y DU y bydd hithau hefyd yn gweithredu’n gyflym ac mewn ffordd gadarnhaol − ac yn defnyddio’r ysgogiadau economaidd sydd ar gael iddi − i gefnogi'n cymuned fusnes a'n heconomi ehangach yn ystod y cyfnod anodd hwn.
