BID Leicester Voluntary Contribution Scheme

Opting in to the BID Leicester voluntary contribution scheme will give your business access to the benefits of being a BID Leicester levy-payer.

Voluntary contributors within the BID Leicester area will contribute a fixed amount of £250 per year for the duration of the BID term. Businesses outside the area can also join, with their levy being calculated according to their rateable value – see here for information on how BID levy is calculated.

The benefits of being part of the BID Leicester voluntary contribution scheme are potentially worth thousands of pounds to your business:

• The My Leicester digital loyalty app (worth £480 a year)
• Street Ambassador Service, which has already proven invaluable to businesses and the public in the city centre
• Access to a business consultancy and savings service, to help you reduce overheads by identifying and securing financial savings for your business
• Independent businesses can benefit from being featured in our Independent Leicester promotional campaign
• Footfall tracking data reports to help you understand footfall trends in the city and make smarter businesses decisions
• Direct involvement in BID Leicester Campaigns and marketing materials, such as the opportunity to feature your business and events as a BID Spotlight in the Cool as Leicester e-newsletter (worth £300+ per feature)
• The opportunity to shape BID spend to help improve Leicester city centre

For more detail on these benefits, see our BID Projects webpage. You can also download our brochure for more information on joining the Voluntary Contribution Scheme.
