As a result of Covid, rising interest rates, tax hikes, increased competition from online companies and mounting debt, small businesses are voluntarily deciding to close down.
A record 14,526 businesses in Britain voluntarily appointed liquidators last year, according to data obtained by accountant Price Bailey. This is a 7% increase on the previous year which saw more businesses close down than ever before.
As a result of this, commercial properties, especially high street shops, throughout the UK are becoming vacant, and very difficult to re-let, which is causing values to fall.
