5 BACKGROUND The Business Rate Relief Scheme is Croydon Council s pioneering initiative of business rate discounts aimed at small and medium-sized businesses. The scheme was expanded from July 2013, in order to accommodate a greater number of businesses across a larger area within Croydon. The eligible Opportunity Area Planning Framework (OAPF), which covers Croydon Town Centre (see map), is a large area of Croydon identified by the Mayor of ondon for regeneration. It is part of the 5 million Mayor s Regeneration Fund designed to boost local jobs and opportunities for business growth in Croydon. BENEFITS The 1.14 million funded business rate relief scheme aims to encourage expanding SMEs to relocate to Croydon Town Centre, where there is vacant quality retail and office space. Substantial discounts on business rates are on offer to growing businesses ready to take the next step into larger accommodation. Businesses will also benefit from the major transformation of Croydon currently underway, which includes quality retail (estfield / Hammersons development), cultural and public spaces and a new affordable residential community. It has unrivalled transport links to the capital, the coast and the airports. Businesses moving into premises in the specified area (see map) with an annual rateable value of 12,500 or above, stand to save tens of thousands on their business rates until March BUSINESS RATES REIEF (DISCOUNTS) AVAIABE The scheme runs from 1 January 2013 to 31 March Businesses can apply at any time but can only benefit from the relief up until the end of the programme. From December 2013, the Business Rate Relief Scheme offers greater financial assistance to eligible SMEs, to help with the early stages of expansion: i.e. - Up to 100% relief in the first year (Businesses who join the scheme by April 2014 have the potential to attract the maximum 100% rate relief due over a 1 year period. However, businesses joining after April 2014 will attract less than the maximum rate relief, as a result of the limited period available, prior to the end of the scheme in March 2015) Please see map of eligible area overleaf EIGIBIITY CRITERIA Scheme is open to all businesses that: Are expanding or moving into premises with a rateable value of 12,500 and over in Croydon Town Centre (includes Southend to Selsdon Road boundary and ondon Road to Campbell Rd boundary; Employ up to 250 people and have a turnover of up to 40m; Have been trading for a year or more; November 2013

6 Have a ease of one year or more for the new premises;; Have a minimum occupancy rate of 1 staff member per 12sq metres (however, this could be less in exceptional circumstances); Businesses not eligible for the scheme are: Under the wider objectives of the scheme business rates relief will not be provided for businesses trading in sectors engaged in any activity that may bring the scheme into disrepute. The business has already received public financial assistance above the State Aid de minimis threshold of 200,000 or 130,000 within the last 3 years; Croydon Council and the Greater ondon Authority reserve the right to re-assess the eligibility for this programme.
