A Business Improvement District (BID) can help address problems and issues identified by office occupiers with solutions that they believe are right. BIDs are not all talk, they deliver real results.

All the businesses benefit from the projects and services, and all contribute to the costs. The BID will be 100 percent accountable to you and will give you the opportunity to effect change in your trading environment. BIDs can deliver:

• A safer environment

• A cleaner, improved environment for employees and clients

• The opportunity to promote to employees and clients that your business is contributing to these benefits

• Collectively invested money which works harder and smarter, and can help leverage further investment

• An improved retail and leisure offer for employees

• Networking and partnership opportunities with other businesses and the statutory authorities

• Tailored advice on business matters which can help save time and money

• The opportunity to be part of a unified business community with a strong local voice.

These can result in further benefits such as improved employee retention and improved client perceptions.
