Business Rates - Help and advice is available


Business Rates (National Non-Domestic Rates) can be a burden for any business, but there are also several relief's that are currently available especially for small businesses and business in small rural communities. Even if you are thinking of starting a new business from your home and you want to know if you will have to pay rates, gain advice about the cost of business rates, and what relief's you also may be entitled to. Help and advice on any aspect of Business Rates is available by visiting Business Rates - East Lindsey District Council (e-lindsey.gov.uk) or contacting the Business Rates team on 01507 601111.
