Fleet BID operates within a defined geographical area and will bring new initiatives and deliver services in addition to those already provided by local councils and other service providers.
The BID is delivered by the Fleet Business Improvement District Company, an independent not-for-profit company limited by guarantee. The Board of Directors are responsible for the delivery of the BID and providing leadership and strategic direction.
The BID operates under very clear legal guidance with a business plan, Board minutes including decisions and expenditure statements which are published on the BID website. The accounts are audited each year and a more detailed expenditure statement is available to every business who has paid the BID levy as part of being a business in the BID area. In addition, Fleet BID has achieved British BID’s accreditation following a thorough audit of the BID’s operations by an external body.
