This question takes the first place for relevance. The second is the lack of money for rental payments. 58 percent of entrepreneurs admitted that the rent was too much to bear.
for Example, in the Astrakhan region, the tenants of shopping centers were on the verge of ruin, and were forced to turn to the Governor with a request to investigate the situation. In Rostov to achieve rental vacation or significant discounts on the rent also managed a few.
