Businesses within the BID area who have a rateable value of over £10,000 (based on the 2010 rating list) automatically become a member of the BID, receive its services and a vote when it comes to the renewal ballot in 2019.
Although businesses under £10,000 and outside of the BID area receive the halo benefits of the place marketing and improvement projects, you may wish to support the BID and be more involved in our work.
Shrewsbury BID offers a Voluntary BID Membership which allows non-members to be more involved – the only difference is a Voluntary Member of the BID won’t have voting rights in any formal ballot.
If you are interested in joining please see the list of benefits below.

Membership is £150+VAT a year for businesses with a rateable value under £10,000 (based on 2010 list). For businesses outside of the BID area with a rateable value over £10,000, the voluntary levy is based on 1.5% of their rateable value, in-line with current BID members.
