Following the successful BID3 Ballot in June 2023, all businesses in the BID Area with a rateable value of over £12,000 automatically become Shrewsbury BID members and will receive an annual levy bill amounting to a percentage of Rateable Value. For the year 2025/26, the levy multiplier is set at 1.63% of RV.
Shrewsbury BID also offers voluntary membership for businesses and organisations that are not levy payers but wish to be featured in our promotional work or get involved in our projects.
