Farnham BID
Business improvement districts are an effective way in which businesses can take control and improve their trading environment.
BIDโs are funded and controlled directly by the businesses that pay for them. As a business, you choose which projects the BID fund is spent on.
Since 2004 when Government passed the Business Improvement Legislation, there have been over 300 successful BIDโs in the UK, which over the next 5 years will generate over ยฃ100 million in investment.
Work on establishing a BID in Farnham is ongoing. Contact the team on the form below for more details.
