Programme to support SME's renting commercial properties

London: Rent is a significant business expense, particularly in London, where the cost of renting commercial premises is one of the highest in Europe. SMEs, especially those that are run and managed by one individual, often struggle to find professional advice on renting commercial premises. This is either because it’s too expensive or they don’t know where to look. 

To address these issues, the London Business Hub launched the Property Advice Service in September 2020 to support SMEs in London that are either renting their first commercial premises (office, retail shop, warehouse etc.) or are currently renting a commercial premise and are experiencing issues.

Through this programme, business owners and entrepreneurs will have access to: 

• Free masterclasses, covering topics such as business rates and lease negotiations
• One-to-one support that’s delivered by property experts Gerald Eve and other property experts and which is tailored to individual needs 
• Access to online resources 

Our upcoming events take place on the following dates:

• 12th January 2021, 10.30am to 12.30pm
• 9th February 2021. 10.30am to 12.30pm
• 9th March 2021, 10.30am to 12.30pm
