Remove business rates for small local business
Change the way they assess business rates on non-domestic premises.
Let the business rates reflect the size of the business profits.
Help small business grow without being in debt.
Why is this important?
This is important as recently, business rates are sinking small businesses with these extortionate costs.
In particular two businesses in two separate councils that serve the whole community for their mental and physical well-being.
Small Businesses in the health and fitness realm that can help with issues such as anxiety / stress / IBS to name a few.
Sadly, these businesses look to take the pressure off the NHS but who have no real chance of growing + staying to help the community.
Support local as we are told, however we need the government to lead on this message and help small businesses thrive.
