What is the JQBID?
The Jewellery Quarter Business Improvement District (JQBID) was established in 2012 and is now in it's third term, improving the business environment of the Quarter making it an attractive location for people to visit and businesses to invest.
The JQBID is funded by a local levy which is compulsory to pay by all businesses that are located within the BID area. The JQBID levy is set at 2%.
Now in its third term of operation, the JQBID is delivering on a proposal which more than 87% of businesses agreed to in 2022. The proposal is broken down into 4 work streams that the JQBID deliver projects from.
The JQBID's 4 project areas
Outlined in the BID Proposal, the team focuses on 4 key areas.
- Business Support
- Cleaner and Greener
- Safe and Welcoming
- Footfall and Promotion
These 4 project areas are the basis for all initiatives, services and events that the BID team provides throughout the term.
Who is a BID Levy-Payer?
The BID’s activities are principally funded via a BID levy charge set at 2% of rateable value (RV) as at 6th April 2022. This charge is payable by all non-domestic properties within the BID area (please see boundary map below) and is collected by Birmingham City Council. The funds are then passed to the Jewellery Quarter Business Improvement District Limited, a not-for-profit company that operates the BID.
If you are a BID Levy Payer, find out about the benefits and opportunities available to you and your business by downloading the BID Renewal Proposal document or by visiting the BID Levy Payer web page.
