Have people really done the sums on dropping back their stores, to save on monthly fees?

What about FVF's?     How much do you sell,  and is dropping down a store level really saving money?

If you don't sell much, then yes, you will save on the monthly fee.

But, only you can know the answer to that one, by doing the math.

Also, to answer the question - the counter doesn't move when you're on managed payments.
