How have you been effected by the recent Business Rates revaluation?

Following meetings of local traders in South London (on 16th May & 20th June & 4th July), it was agreed that we would pull together some information on traders' business rate revaluations. This will serve as a data source to understand concerns and help inform a coordinated campaign.

Please complete this survey to show how rate changes have impacted your business, and please send it on to any contacts who are affected by the revaluation of business rates. 

The quicker we have responses, the quicker we can help to identify priority actions.

This survey should take no more than 10 minutes depending upon the level of detail you want to include. 

Future business support meetings are being planned, and a business rates news web page created, so please leave your e-mail address to stay up to date. 

Information given in this survey will be stored confidentially by Community Southwark (Community Southwark is a registered charity, that supports communities in Southwark). Any individual details provided will not be shared beyond the group without your consent.

Many thanks,
