Landlords
Advise your landlords that you will be running an experiment and will be
opening for limited retail trade only and that you will not be fully operational as
services and treatments are not allowed as yet
It is vital to mitigate their expectations in terms of rent which could be linked to
any turnover during this period. As such advise them that you will appreciate
that they hold back claiming rental until the situation improves as this will help
your as a business to survive till level 1 is reached when we expect to be able
to trade.

suppliers.
