    Business rate HELP ASAP

    If you lease the pitch, I assume you lease it for the 4 months of the year you operate? In that case, the council would be liable for the other 8 months of the year. You would qualify for the Small Business Rates Relief and I believe from £12k - £15k you pay on a sliding scale. Another option is...

    grant eligibility for 2 businesses that share business rates

    Ask for a 1/4 of the amount from the other business then? Mention that you applied. Unusual for 2 businesses to be on one account like this though.

    I hope this is not too like a business post .....

    Any professional body like this won't really consider the design/format. Simply state the problem, how it occurred, and what needs to be done etc. Keep it to the point. May be you will also need to get an Authority To Discuss letter from your friend initially? I always send emails, I used to...

    Traditional Card Terminal vs Square/iZettle/etc

    Update - 1 company has 1 sumup devices with the printer, working really well, the other company I was researching for have got 2 and will start to be used in the next 2-3 weeks. You can have 'employee accounts' so that you can see which employee or which geographical location is getting more...

    Denied The Small Business Grant

    Hi. I assume you are now getting SBRR? If so, then this applies: Hereditaments included in this scheme are those which on the 11 March 2020 were eligible for relief under the business rate Small Business Rate Relief Scheme (including those with a Rateable Value between £12,000 and £15,000 which...

    Bye bye offices?

    If working from home suits the company and things have worked out well in the lockdown, why not give up the offices? Or just lease 1 office and have a rota system for people going in? £100pm for people working from home is very generous btw. And if you just lease 1 office (or even 2 and they are...

    Denied The Small Business Grant

    Lilac - you need to appeal the decision. Prove you were in occupation prior to 11 March (utility bill etc) and send that with the appeal. Originally the rules were that you wouldn't have got the grant, but then the government slightly changed this and councils could pay it to companies who on...

    Anyone got the 10k business Rates relief grant yet?

    You misunderstand me. I'm not talking about the grant here at all. I'm discussing a reduction in the rateable value as a possible material change in circumstances, which is totally different. So there is a possibility of something being saved here if the appeal was successful. If the appeal was...

    Anyone got the 10k business Rates relief grant yet?

    Do you have any retail in the property, where the public or firms may come in and look at what you have and buy direct, and is this retail area larger than the remaining parts? (Wholly or mainly is the wording here). Alternatively, you may wish to consider getting in touch with a reputable...

    Anyone got the 10k business Rates relief grant yet?

    Unsure what Porky means Rules are rules and the council cannot alter them for one company and not another. The Councils have to abide by the Government's instruction.

    Small Business Grant - HELP!

    There has to be a cut off date and on this occasion it sounds like you just missed that. I would also use the start date as per the tenancy agreement as the move in date. The date here is the key thing unfortunately.

    Anyone got the 10k business Rates relief grant yet?

    Jimbof covers most things here. What exactly is the nature of your business? And re the unoccupied bit, just send them a copy of your tenancy agreement. It sounds like it was classed as empty at one stage and it hasn't been updated.

    Anyone got the 10k business Rates relief grant yet?

    That does seem a bit of a farce. We would just have done it on the 2nd one. I guess it also depends on the staff dealing with it, if they have a bit of savvy it should have gone through really. It seems different councils are doing things slightly differently. Hopefully you should get it this...

    Traditional Card Terminal vs Square/iZettle/etc

    There is a choice of daily (which I believe is the default), weekly or monthly payments from Sumup to the business account.
