Business Improvement Districts (BID) are independent business-led, business-funded organisations formed to improve a defined commercial area. A BID is established statutorily once elected by a majority of business owners in the area and can only operate for a maximum term of five years before seeking re-election by eligible voters. BIDs are not-for-profit organisations financed principally through a small, compulsory annual levy paid by businesses in the BID area, based on rateable value.
