Rating

An inevitable part of renting a business premises is the need to pay business rates. However an increase in these can be the death knell for some sole traders and limited companies.

Business rates are based on the rateable value of non-domestic properties, and are revaluated typically every five years. The latest revaluation has seen rises for many businesses, and this has led to more and more business owners wishing to challenge their rates liability.
