The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) has warned the government that neither the UK nor the EU is ready for a no-deal Brexit on 31 October.
"While the UK's preparations to date are welcome, the unprecedented nature of Brexit means some aspects cannot be mitigated," said the CBI.
It has published practical steps it says the UK, EU and firms can take.
A government spokesman said the UK has increased the pace of planning for no-deal.
The CBI had previously said leaving the EU with a deal was essential to protect the economy and jobs.
New Prime Minister Boris Johnson has made Michael Gove responsible for planning a no-deal Brexit.
Mr Gove has said the UK government is currently "working on the assumption" of a no-deal Brexit.
He said his team still aimed to come to an agreement with Brussels but, writing in the Sunday Times, he added: "No deal is now a very real prospect."
