Invest Chelmsford Business is hosting a focussed briefing for retail, leisure and hospitality businesses on the national business rate changes from April—and the practical support available to help you plan with confidence.
The briefing will take place on the morning of 19th February 2026, at Tiptree Tearooms, Chelmsford. Booking is essential - Book Here.
Business rates are set nationally. While the City Council does not determine the rates, we recognise the concern many local businesses have about rising costs and the need for clear, practical information. This briefing is designed to explain what’s changing, how the system works, and where to find support.
The session will include contributions from Marie Goldman MP, alongside industry specialists and public‑sector experts who will break down the essentials, outline available reliefs and review processes, and signpost businesses to further assistance.
If you have any questions or need further information about the exciting opportunities in Chelmsford, our dedicated team is here to help.
