ABOUT US
The English Riviera BID Company’s primary
source of income is the ERBID Levy, which
is paid annually by over 1,000 eligible
tourism and hospitality businesses, and
voluntary contributors. This levy currently
generates nearly £500,000 per year.
Under ERBID2, the levy rate is 1.95% of a
business’s rateable value, with a minimum
payment of £150 per year—a rate that has
remained unchanged since the start of the
ERBID in 2017.
Looking ahead to ERBID3, an increase to
the levy rate will be necessary to maintain
investment in core initiatives such as
national advertising and digital marketing
campaigns, and to continue delivering at the
high standard our businesses expect.
