Business Support

Slough BID will work to strengthen the business community through networking and training opportunities. We will work with local training providers to help businesses achieve their potential.
The BID will support businesses to aim for higher standards and introduce business excellence awards to celebrate success.
To help businesses reduce their running costs, Slough BID will trial a joint procurement scheme for utilities and other services.
Town centre loyalty schemes have proved to be very successful in other areas, and Slough BID will trial the introduction of a customer loyalty scheme across the town centre, with the aim of increasing customer dwell time, spend, and return visits. The scheme could also cover the reimbursement of car parking fees.
We will work with Slough Borough Council and others to develop data collection about footfall and movement of customers in the BID area and use the data for planning, promotion, and performance monitoring.
