Businesses to get seed funding for ideas to create buzz in precincts

Singapore

BUSINESS owners and operators who ply their trade near each other are now being encouraged to get together to come up with ways to bring a buzz to the neighbourhood, improve the experience for their customers and, in so doing, improve their business performance as well.

What's more - these "Business Improvement Districts" (BIDs) can get support from the government in the form of seed funding to make their creative ideas happen.
