Introduction

The BRC and IBRF jointly support the concept of BIDs, particularly
in circumstances where they address issues of real local concern
and where the benefits outweigh the costs. As a business-led
solution, BIDs are the preferred mechanism for raising additional
revenue to fund responses to local problems. When BIDs are
developed, implemented and operated effectively, they can be a
useful way for businesses to work together with other
community partners to improve trading locations.

These guidance notes aim to assist developing and renewing
BIDs as they set out their business case and provide some
indications as to the minimum expectations of most levy payers.

Circumstances specific to each location may be taken into
consideration.
