New Forest Disability

Innovation Often local independ- ent businesses are where innovation happens. It’s how things move forward and progress. With-out the creativity and innovative nature of local business- es and entrepreneurs, in - dustries wouldn’t advance at the rate that they are. Take for instance the cof - fee shop. Currently at the peak of popularity, chain coffee shops are actually following in the footsteps of independent coffee shops. They are doing what they can to blend more into the community and seem more authentic. Local government support Some local councils pro- vide tax incentives to en - courage nationally-owned companies to set up in their area. However, if these cor - porations are paying less in taxes it means that local residents are paying more. But, when you buy from lo - cal companies it lessens indi- vidual tax burdens and could create up to 75% more tax revenues for the community.

If things go wrong It’s important to know that if anything was to go wrong you have a local company to go to, someone to talk to face to face with. Large commercial companies will often provide you with a phone number for their customer service team, which is often not in the UK, and make you wait for what seems like an eternity until you get to speak to someone. This simply is not the case with a local business. They will often prefer to meet up face to face, rather than on the phone, and find out exactly how they can help fix the problem.

Help to create the identity Some local businesses will actually help shape the identity of the area. A high street filled with unique, vibrant and col - ourful shops will attract more tourism and help to make the community a more popular and financially healthier area in which to live and work. There are many towns and villages around the New Forest and elsewhere in Hants and Dorset that are known for exactly this.

Local business for local charities

It’s win win all around So shopping locally really does add up- personal service, close at hand, someone to talk to, competitive pricing (in most cases), often supporting local charities, increased revenues for councils and keeping down your tax bills for money to be spent on other services but most of all by keeping the high street alive during these testing times.

Many local businesses support local charities that are par- ticularly relevant to the area, and by shopping locally you are helping to increase the number of local donations. Of course, large chain companies do support charities but if you would prefer to help support a local one then buying locally is a great way of doing this. A British tradition Supporting your local business over larger, national and international rivals is somewhat of a British tradition. Unlike other countries, who have allowed the chain stores and com - panies to completely take over their high streets, Britain has always tried to keep the focus on local businesses.
