Buying or renting commercial property? Save money by making better informed property decisions
Whether you own or rent your business premises, take a look at this new free guide from RICS – Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.
The Small Business Property Guide covers all aspects of the property process. It has been endorsed by the Federation of Small Businesses, the British Retail Consortium and the Association of Town and City Management.
Property costs – such as business rates and rent – are one of the most significant expenses incurred by SMEs and failure to take professional advice as to how to manage them could cost you thousands of pounds.
Included within the guide is advice on:
- Finding the right premises
- Business rates
- Tax allowances on property
- Rent reviews
- Valuations
Paul Bagust, RICS Associate Director, said:
“Property is a crucial business asset that needs attention and close management like any other. Yet it is often ignored by small businesses who are always pushed for time.
The right property advice can allow a business to expand at the right pace, increase profit margins and make the difference between an enterprise that flourishes and one that struggles.”
