A BID is a Business Improvement District and is part of the Government’s long-term strategy to encourage partnership working between a local authority and the business community. A BID is a defined area within which rate-paying businesses decide on new improvements to help shape the future of their area – and then vote to agree the investment. This money is then ring-fenced to provide the improvements agreed through the BID strategy.

BIDs see improvements to footfall, business profitability and turnover which would not have happened otherwise.

Essentially a BID is designed to be for the businesses, controlled by the businesses.
