QUESTION: I own a services business in Jamaica in a competitive space. I am centrally located. However, my landlord just notified me that the rent will increase, come January. Things are going up in price, so I can tell already that 2026 will bring more pressure (pay for my workers, light, supplies, change out some equipment, and so forth). How should I tackle a business plan now? Because, last time we increased, the customers were bawling. – Concerned owner
