Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) are partnerships operated by local businesses which are intended to provide additional services or improvements to a specified area. A BID must be agreed by a ballot of the businesses covered by the BID area. BIDs are funded in large part by an additional levy on the non-domestic rate bills paid by the businesses. The levy is collected alongside their business rate payments.
