Dear [INSERT NAME]

I hope you are well and keeping safe.

I am writing to you today because I urgently need your help. My business has been at [INSERT ADDRESS] since [INSERT DATE] and we are at critical risk because our Landlord, The Arch Company is… 

[INSERT YOUR PRIORITY CONCERNS WITH ARCH CO eg. increasing rent, declined or delayed covid support, rental arrears, back-dated review, poor treatment etc].

[TELL YOUR STORY E.g: My cashflow/turnover has been severely impacted and has declined since March 2020 by [INSERT %], this is leaving myself and my family in a position of overwhelming financial crisis and debt.]

This pandemic and economic uncertainty is having a crushing impact on my business and wider industry. I appreciate that our council is working hard to support the community and local SMEs throughout this crisis for which we are deeply grateful.

Please can you help me by writing to The Arch Company board and request urgent action to support the sustainability and viability of my small family business, we ask only that we are treated fairly in line with the government code of practice and The Arch Company: Stop increasing rents, permit tenants who cannot afford to stay to leave without penalty and waive all backdated rent increases.

I would be happy to meet with you and discuss this further.

Many thanks
