Exciting plans for growth in the biotech industry call for a rigorous re-evaluation of business rates, according to Commercial Property Advisors (CPA). The innovative nature of the life sciences market has given rise to transformative projects, including the repurposing of warehouses through augmented reality and the use of virtual reality tools in laboratories and production facilities. CPA, a recognized specialist in business rates, believes this presents a prime opportunity for life sciences offices, labs, and production units to have their rates formally assessed by RICS-regulated surveyors. In cases where bills seem unreasonably high, CPA is prepared to undertake formal challenges, potentially resulting in significant savings and reduced bills going forward. Just as you dedicate meticulous attention to developing your biotech business, it's worth subjecting your rates to the same level of scrutiny. For expert advice and assistance, don't hesitate to contact CPA today.
