01. Self-billing for BID levy collection
In the debut episode of Vicinity and Beyond, Henry Jinman, CEO of Vicinity, is joined by Dr. Julie Grail, BID expert from the BIDs business. They dive into the complexities of levy collection, exploring why it often falls short of expectations and how this impacts BID managers. Together, they discuss an alternative—self-billing which Julie has already proven with the BID in Worcester and is now working with Vicinity to roll out to more BIDs across the country. Tune in to discover how this new approach could improve data accuracy, speed and total levy collected, improve relationships with levy-payers and significantly reduce costs.
