Manchester BID:
Coronavirus Business Advice

Manchester BID is the city’s Business Improvement District: a consortium of 400 leading retailers and restaurants. We bring businesses together to support growth and create a vibrant, resilient city.

In this difficult time, we will continue to offer help to the Manchester city centre business community. We are working closely with Manchester and Salford Councils, The Growth Company, Transport for Greater Manchester, Marketing Manchester, Greater Manchester Combined Authority, Greater Manchester Police, Manchester’s homelessness charity network and other statutory and professional bodies.

We are here to help support your business. Do follow us @CityCo and CityCo Manchester on LinkedIn for our updates.
