Retail & Leisure Business Plan

The Liverpool BID Company currently delivers the 2023 – 2028 Retail & Leisure BID Business Plan which represents a £5m investment in improving the trading environment of its BID Levy Payers.

The 2023 – 2028 Retail & Leisure Business Plan supports both Liverpool’s growth and the viability of the sector.

The rateable value from which an organisation will begin paying a levy is £45,000, meaning small and independent businesses within the BID area no longer need to pay an annual levy, whilst still benefiting from its services.
