I am confused between close down and closing down in this sentence. Can somebody help me? thanks
Sales have decreased in recent years, so the shop owners are closing down/ close down their business before they start to lose money.

Hi, Sales have decreased in recent years, so the shop owners are closing down/ close down their business before they start to lose money. Choose 'are closing down' to show that it is a continuing process. Clive
