First the bad news…..business rates are set to increase by 5.6% from April 2012.

But the good news is that the temporary increase in Small Business Rates Relief  will continue for a further 6 months until March 2013.  Most businesses at The Wincombe Centre will be protected from this rate increase until at least March as the 100% Relief means we will pay NO rates.

Changes in tax payments mean that businesses with up to £77,000 turnover will benefit from only having to pay tax on money that they have actually received, rather than paying on orders for which they have yet to be paid.

Corporation tax will fall to 24% – although for businesses with profits exceeding £300,000 a year there will be no benefits as these businesses already pay only 20%

Young entrepreneurs will be able to borrow on a new loan initiative to back a new business ideas and small firms will be able to borrow with the new lending scheme giving access to loans with interest rates one percentage point lower than those outside the initiative.

The budget has offered no reprieve for small firms (or individuals) struggling with the high price of petrol and diesel. Instead, fuel duty will continue to go up by three pence in August.

In other news though……the sun is shining!

We wish them continued success for the future!

This move will release UNIT 10 for letting.

It is a fabulous ground floor office in Block 2 with easy access to communal kitchen , reception and meeting room.  It is 273 SQ FT and has a weekly licence fee of £96.60 per week which is inclusive of all utilities, refuse disposal and free on site parking.

Brilliant Harvest Installations Ltd, formed in 2010 near Bruton in Somerset by founder Jeff Ingvaldson, is installing the high quality Solar PV  array.  Brilliant Harvest Installations have grown into the largest specialised PV Company in the area. In the last 6 months they have installed 760kWp of Solar PV Panels – (that is more than 3,400) and they have 18 workers and are installing approximately 100kW per week.

We will bring you more news as the installation completes.  We are hoping to generate some of our own electricity and thus begin to take control of spiralling energy costs in order to keep our licence fees competetive and affordable!
