The CBI , which represents 190,000 UK businesses , has said a lack of information about what a no - deal Brexit would look like is inhibiting both the UK and the EU 's ability to prepare . In a report , the group said 16 out of 27 UK economic sectors would be disrupted in a no - deal scenario and that ministers needed to do more to provide clarity . The CBI calls on the Government to "immediately" put the civil service "back onto a no-deal footing" and review all Brexit preparedness advice drawn up for the previous exit date of March 2019. The CBI 's call for a communications campaign came as the government announced a £ 100 m ( $ 1 million ) spend on information about what leaving the EU without a deal would mean . The group also said the EU must " come to the table and commit " to improving the UK 's economy .
