I have been a member for around 6 years and find the membership is real value for money.
I recently attended the Bootcamp event at Hothorpe Hall in Leicestershire which was inspiring, engaging and full of memorable tips and advice from some fantastic speakers. The day was extremely well organised and felt like a great use of, what is often precious, time as a small business owner.

I've had a mixed experience with the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB). The events are well-organised and offer some useful insights, and their team members like Martin, Victoria, Jane, and Tim are genuinely supportive and attentive. However, while there are benefits like legal advice and helpful resources, I feel some of the perks aren't as substantial as advertised. Overall, it's a good organisation with potential value, but not quite a game-changer for me yet. Perfectly fine, but not outstanding.

An excellent portal that we use frequently when we have questions on all legal matters including Human Resources. Very easy to get a person to talk to who give clear and concise advice. This is excellent value for money for a small business.

Joining the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) has been one of the best decisions for my business. The support they provide is invaluable, from legal and financial advice to expert guidance tailored for small businesses.
What truly sets FSB apart is the thriving community and networking opportunities. I've made so many meaningful connections that have not only helped me grow professionally but have also led to new business opportunities. The events, webinars, and local meet-ups are packed with insightful information and real-world advice from fellow entrepreneurs.
FSB genuinely cares about small businesses, and their advocacy work ensures our voices are heard. If you're a small business owner looking for support, networking, and growth opportunities, I highly recommend joining FSB! 🚀👏

Had a lovely networking event with this business. The hosts make you feel welcome and give you a chance to be heard, a perfect opportunity to connect with others. Highly recommend for anyone who owns a small business to connect with others.

I attended the speed networking today at the Plaza in Braintree. It was well organised, and well worth my time. It's a great way to meet many small business owners.

The Federation of Small Businesses has helped our company out in a multitude of ways. Not only has it enabled us legal advice and guidance when dealing with a client who hadn't paid their invoice, it has also opened a portal of networking groups up and down the country allowing our business more reach.
Further to this it is now enabling our business to give back by way of sponsorships and services. Our business is growing and there is no denying the support the FSB offers in incremental in allowing that to happen.

We met our local membership advisor Jane Martin having attended a networking event. We met for a coffee to discuss the benefits of what the FSB had to offer and we quickly saw that becoming a member for the networking alone was worth our yearly subscription however, Jane didn't want to just sign us up, she wanted to know about where our business was, what goals we had and any blockers we had that were preventing us to move forward.
At the time we had been chasing an unpaid invoice for 4 months and although it wasn't a huge amount for a Small Business it was a lot and the cost of seeking legal help outweighed the option of looking at this. Jane explained about the legal guidance and free documents that the FSB had to offer and within 24 hours of signing up we were able to get access to support and documents, another 48 hours later we had sent a letter and we had been paid the invoice. That invoice paid for our membership alone.
Since then we have worked closely with Jane and Tim Aker the Development Manager. We have attended networking events, been connected with businesses who have supported and grown our business, had a direct connection with local MP's to lobby issues and have utilised the legal support and insurance discounts.
We cannot thank the FSB for all it has done for us in growing our business and supporting our success. I will attribute this down to the incredible support we have in Jane and Tim who truly are assets to organisation.

I initially joined FSB a number of years ago and didn't really make the most of it however I re-joined a couple of years ago now and it's a brilliant resource for businesses across the board in addition to the opportunities to network and collaborate. Excellent value for money!
