Improve your environment
BID Taunton offers you the chance to dramatically improve your
trading environment, enhance footfall and boost your business
performance.
By working together as a community, sharing costs and
responsibilities, it means your money can work harder, bringing
improvements to the area beyond your individual door but directly
benefiting your business.
Play your part
You can be part of the final decisions, identifying what will
benefit your business community. There will be plenty of guidance
and support throughout, from Taunton Town Centre Co, from Price
Waterhouse Coopers LLP acting on behalf of the DCLG, from Taunton
Deane Borough Council and from other successful BID towns and
cities.
"For the smallest business in the Business
Improvement District the daily cost is the equivalent of a postage
stamp and even for the very largest the daily cost amounts to a
couple of cinema tickets."
Keith Darwin, Chairman,
Lincoln Business
Improvement Group.

Plan ahead
There are no hidden surprises with costs. From the outset the charge
is fixed, which means you can plan ahead knowing what it will cost
you over the five years.
But by working together through BID Taunton your investment goes
much further. It means the agencies working with you can leverage
other financial contributions, because BIDs can attract matched
funding - and that means a substantial increase in finances
available for the projects that benefit your business.
Develop local solutions
The finance generated will be a flexible tool, allowing you to
identify local problems in your trading environment and develop
local solutions, ring-fencing it to deliver tangible change.
Whether its introducing hanging baskets, undertaking marketing and
events, enhancing street cleaning, addressing security issues
through warden patrols and CCTV, extending successful Taunton Town
Centre Co initiatives - whatever you choose will undoubtedly benefit
your business.
