Business Improvement Districts

Business Improvement Districts are business led partnerships which are created through a ballot process to deliver additional services to local businesses.  They can be a powerful tool for directly involving local businesses in local activities and allow the business community and local authorities to work together to improve the local trading environment.

Bristol BID operates underneath the governance of Visit West and builds on the mission: “Your business, our priority, Bristol’s future”. 

Bristol is such a vibrant city known for its rich history, diverse culture, and creative spirit. It’s a hub for the arts, technology, and innovation, often regarded as a leading green city in the UK due to its focus on sustainability.

With the ongoing support and engagement of levy paying businesses, the BID’s passionate and experienced team can continue to deliver for all business sectors, and the wider community across the city centre.
