In 2018, the Retail Gazette correctly identified excessive business rates as a major impediment for firms struggling to survive on the high street.
Since then, we have seen a slew of firms, both large and small, closing or centralising to fewer, larger premises. And a 12% vacancy rate in high street properties provides a sad spectacle of decline.
But what of those businesses which have moved from the high street to premises such as trading estate units? Have they considered the appropriateness of their business rates?
Could they be making savings of several thousands of pounds, with a professionally-evidenced appeal to the rating authority?
