The largest groups of micro businesses in Rother are construction (730), professional, scientific and technical services (585) and wholesale and retail (545).

Rother ranks 896 of the 1105 areas we serve by number of micro businesses, and its micro share of 91% is above the 89% average across them. In professional, scientific and technical services (585 micro businesses in Rother), fee income, work in progress at the year end and how directors are paid are the key decisions, so we plan these with you before the accounts are finalised. In wholesale and retail (545 micro businesses in Rother), closing stock and the VAT treatment of different product lines are the usual pressure points, so we value stock carefully and check your VAT records.
