Business Grants

Our Business Growth Grant scheme helps Chester BID members deliver a range of projects that not only help their businesses grow, but also benefit the wider Chester BID area. Grants have been awarded to fund the likes of signage, equipment and marketing support.

Crime & Anti-Social Behaviour

Chester BID works closely with Cheshire Police and Cheshire West and Chester Council to minimise the impact of crime and ASB for businesses within the BID area. From conducting a bi-annual crime and ASB survey to funding police drug dog operations in the city.

The support I get from Chester BID is outstanding.
They are an excellent organisation and have helped me more than I could imagine. Aside from all of the valuable initiatives they undertake, they are also accessible to talk to and give me practical advice and signposting to different things I need. BID is doing an outstanding job for our city.
