In what way is it early? UK left the European Union late last year. Since then there only is a temporary agreement in place, with a deadline later this year. Given the seemingly strength of the Prime Minister (see recent cabinet reshuffling) and his unwillingness to extend companies doing business in Britain have to prepare.

February 1st was officially the "first day" out.

It's a bit of a red-herring because the only thing that changed on Febuary 1st was that we're no longer having representation in the EU parliament, until the end of the year we're still following all the same laws and regulations.

And that assumes that the transition period is not extended. (Which it doesn't seem likely to be, frankly).
