In 2023, Liverpool BID Company launched the Voluntary BID Membership. The voluntary model provides benefits to those businesses who already pay a BID levy, and to the business who decide to opt in and become a levy payer.

The membership allows for enhanced collaboration and partnership opportunities across the city, increased opportunity for resilience, community and place making and supports operational delivery via increased revenue.

We spoke to Catarina Pereira, Relationships & Events Manager at Fazenda Liverpool who became a Voluntary Member in 2023, about how Fazenda benefit from our BID Services. She said:

Fazenda is proud to maintain its partnership with Liverpool BID through the first officially Voluntary Membership, reflecting our commitment to being an active part of Liverpool’s dynamic business community. 

Last year’s Liverpool Restaurant Week was a standout success for us, it demonstrated the value of BID’s initiatives in driving guest engagement and supporting local businesses like ours. 

The benefits offered, particularly in marketing and events promotion have been instrumental in supporting our growth and connection to the community. The smooth membership process reaffirmed our decision to continue this valuable collaboration, and we eagerly anticipate contributing to and benefiting from future BID initiatives in the new year.
