Posted on: 09 May 2016As experts in business, the Federation of Small Businesses offer their members a wide range of vital business services including advice, financial expertise, support and a powerful voice in government. The FSB’s mission is to help smaller businesses achieve their ambitions.
This not-for-profit and non-party political organisation was set up over 40 years ago and is led by the members, for the members. All members enjoy great value business services including advice, financial products and support. These cover a wide range of benefits such as tax, legal and HR, local network groups, business banking and mentoring.
Far more than just a business service providing advice and guidance, as a member of the Federation of Small Businesses you will enjoy almost countless forms of cover, care and benefits covering every aspect of your business. For example, their Tax Investigation Protection not only help you through every step of the process but also covers legal and accountancy fees which can a large issue for a small business should you be randomly selected for an investigation by HMRC. Their Energy Service even takes care of securing you the very best rates on electricity and gas along with checking bills, energy efficiency and even your household consumption. That's just two benefits picked at random from the myriad offered to each member.
The FSB are the UK’s leading business campaigner. There is a central team in Westminster focussed on campaigning for and delivering changes that support small businesses and afford them the best chance to grow and succeed. It’s not just London where they focus their attentions though - expert teams in Glasgow, Cardiff and Belfast work with governments, elected members and decision-makers in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
