EMPTY PROPERTY
Business Rates Mitigation and Avoidance Solutions
The Fuse Media business rates mitigation and avoidance solution involves the occupation of any empty commercial property for a period of six weeks or more.
We install advertising equipment in the property and transmit advertisements over a free Wi-Fi network. Meanwhile, any passer by or neighbouring occupier who connects to the free Wi-Fi network is initially greeted by our advertising media. Because we occupy the property for six weeks or more we create a ‘beneficial occupation’ in the eyes of the local authorities business rates department.
At the end of the occupation period we vacate the property. As a result, we triggers an entitlement to a further three (six for industrial) months business rates relief. However, if the property is still vacant after the rates free period, the Fuse Media business rates mitigation and avoidance solution can be used again.
In addition, our solution is very discrete and does not involve any damaging works to the property. Similarly, none of the equipment requires mounting and fixing.
Our process is very simple and straightforward with limited input required from the owner or their agent. Follow this link to find out how the process works. The process.
