| What is a BID? |  |
A Business Improvement District is a partnership between a local authority and the local business community to develop projects and services that will benefit the trading environment within the boundary of a clearly defined commercial area.
Over 60 Business Improvement Districts have now been established across England and Wales. Pilot BIDs are being developed in Scotland and legislation has been passed in the Republic of Ireland.
Although most UKBIDs are currently in town centres, the principle works just as well in other places, and there are already BIDs established in industrial estates with considerable further interest.
