Retail & Leisure BID (formerly City Central BID) was established in 2005 and represents more than 670 levy-paying businesses across the retail and leisure heart of Liverpool city centre.
The Retail & Leisure BID is currently on its 4th term and will begin it’s 5th term on the 1st June, 2023, after the successful ballot in April 2023 where of those who voted, 84% voted in favour by number and 85% in favour by rateable value (RV).
The Liverpool BID Company currently delivers the 2018-2023 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 will support both Liverpool’s growth and the viability of the sector.
It will increase the rateable value from which an organisation will begin paying a levy to £45,000, meaning small and independent businesses within the BID area will no longer need to pay an annual levy, whilst still benefiting from its services.
