The latest Alignable study highlights that approx. half of the surveyed small and medium-sized organizations are facing difficulty in coping with rental expenses, amid various ongoing issues in the US.
The factors influencing the increased rental prices we are seeing are several. One major aspect driving up operational costs for firms is inflation. Also, the supply of these bigger commercial spaces hasn't kept pace with the growing demand, causing rental prices to rise as a consequence.
The study further highlights that more than 35 percent of these enterprises are unable to meet their monthly rental expenses deadlines. Also, more than half of them are unable to pay the previous month's rent, leading to downsizing or closure of the business.
Several potential solutions can help loosen the burden on small businesses caused by rising rent prices. One possibility is for the government to intervene and offer financial aid or tax incentives that are specially tailored to encourage small enterprises. Landlords can also contribute by being more flexible with their rental arrangements. This could mean offering temporary rent relief or extending the duration of leases to give struggling small businesses some much-needed breathing space.
With the growing difficulties associated with renting issues come other difficulties, such as a lack of skilled labour, an inefficient supply chain, and rising prices for raw materials.
These days, inventory management has also grown to be a major hassle and is delaying many business activities. For these kinds of firms who are trying to preserve their stability, one of the major problems is the rising cost of raw materials.
To sum up, the escalation of rental prices presents a grave threat to the survival of these organizations. But the hope is still alive for these enterprises. By joining hands with government support and landlord flexibility, these businesses can still survive in this era.
