Apply for small business rate relief (new applications)
You may be able to get small business rate relief depending on:
- the rateable value of your property
- whether you occupy the property
- how many business properties you occupy
Relief can only be awarded for one property.
Eligibility
You may be eligible if:
- your property’s rateable value is less than £15,000
- the property is occupied
- it is your only occupied business premises, or your other business properties have a rateable value under £2,900, and the total rateable value of all properties is less than £20,000
If you receive small business rate relief and take on another property after 27 November 2025 that would make you ineligible, you may be able to continue receiving relief for a further 3 years.
If you took on another property before 27 November 2025 the further relief on the existing property is for 1 year.
You must tell us within 28 days about any changes that could affect your eligibility. Read more about small business rate relief on GOV.UK.
