Business owners could be sitting on an opportunity of a lifetime
What if you were told that you could be sitting on an opportunity that could help transform your business and set you on the path to success?
Thousands of business owners around the country are losing out on potential sales and instant financial gains – How? They own commercial and industrial sites in the centre of towns and villages; sites that do not add value to the business and can hinder its growth.
The increased success of internet sales, shopping centres and supermarkets are making it increasingly difficult for retailers and merchants in commercial buildings and industrial sites to compete. Family owned businesses are struggling to stay afloat and landlords often cannot find new tenants. In fact, in the first half of 2016, as many as 15 high streets shops closed every day and the number of new openings fell to its lowest level for more than five years.
While a prime location in the centre of a town or village was vital to achieving success, changes in consumer spending habits in the last two decades have changed the rules of the game. Today, many of the companies that own these locations are now better suited to retail parks, which offer both competitive prices and on-site parking.
Industrial sites and commercial properties with multiple floors have the highest potential. These second-floor spaces are often seen as a by-product of business operations and are not utilized. However, while it may appear that the bulk of the property value lies in the bottom floor, today that is simply not the case. Nearly a quarter of a million homes in the UK lie empty – wasting both space and money.
By transforming these commercial properties and industrial sites into residential spaces, the population in the area will grow. This will lead to more business for companies in the area, especially those who have acquired loyal customers.
