FSB has been so useful with up to date information and relevant webinars, as well as the legal and other support which is part of the membership

We joined FSB in December 2020 purely for their free legal advice. We had an extremely stressful experience with a new member of staff which meant we had to speak to a solicitor most days over two weeks. They gave good advice and were able to reassure us that we were doing the right thing. I've used their site for various HR related things since December and find their e-newsletters useful. Couldn't fault our experience so far. Thank you!

It was our Greater Birmingham Chamber of Commerce (GBCC) who recommended that we join the FSB as we are a relatively "small" company but cover a very large area. The Development Manager at FSB has been invaluable with his advice, help and assistance with our business queries...thank you! Whenever we see their stand at a Trade Expo or Fair we introduce ourselves and again thank them for their assistance.

I joined FSB in 2019 when I launched my business, First Aid Training GB. I didn't know what to expect, having never run a business before. The FSB have been really helpful, providing support, knowledge and a fantastic networking schedule that actually works. Plus, their own insurance provider offers good value. I would recommend all SMEs to join FSB.

Loved this presentation! This is an incredibly important subject and I applaud the FSB for supporting this ideology. The speakers were both inspiring and informative. I wish there had been more time for questions at the end. I have about a million questions for Mr. Richer.

Great Meeting today, fantastic way to network and generate new business. I always find the meetings informative and energising, just what you need when you spend a lot of your time working on your own. Gives you a real boost!

The support provided by the FSB has been invaluable to our small business! From the advice and guidance we can access online to queries we have had for the legal helpline the FSB is always our go to and 99% of the time we don't need to go anywhere else.
The regular updates we receive from them are never too regular to get annoying and nearly always contain something that we didn't know we wanted to be aware of!
We would highly recommend membership to any small business and certainly wouldn't be without it ourselves.
Thank you FSB for everything you do!!

I have always found FSB helpful when needing help with employee law. They are always my first port of call when reviewing utilities.

I have only been a member for just under a year, but I shall renew my membership. Although I haven't managed to take advantage of all the services offered, I have felt great support and have informed anyone who listens, how wonderful FSB membership is. Thankyou very much.

I’ve been a member of the FSB Northern Ireland for roughly 2 years now and I have to say they have been hugely supportive, particularly during the pandemic. They have a fantastic website which is an excellent resource and hugely engaging networking meetings. Keep it up!

This was a really informative presentation, and exactly what I needed as I have just set up a company. The content, pace and tone was just right, and it was great to have lots of tools and ideas to get my business planning and strategies off to a flying start!

My first FSB webinar and it was a success!

I found the speaker informative and inspiring, giving me ideas to implement in my own business.

As a very small business, sole trader in retail, I have found the support of the FSB really useful and I always feel like someone has my back. As a sole trader I am very much alone but I can always turn to the FSB for advice and assistance. They have helped me with advice on several occasions and I find them all very amiable. Something I always worry about is a audit from HMRC but I know they are there to assist should it be needed. I know they campaign for all of us and that's also a massive reassurance.

I have been a member for 27 years, and throughout that time, have found there services extremely helpful to a small business. The legal team are excellent, and having left the insurance services three years ago have just renewed with the FSB Insurance service. Easy to do and set up by two men who have worked alongside small business for many years. Thank you.

Joined the FSB webinar on 4th February 2021 regarding the Supreme Court Judgement on Business Interruption insurance. Very good speakers and content. Now feel better equipped to follow this through with our Insurance Company. Also will look to get a quotation from the Insurance Team at FSB moving forwards. Thank you

FSB is really an excellent support especially when starting out on your own - as I did, 18 months ago.
The networking is really useful, along with webinars and advise from the team as well as the website.
I would recommend to SMEs in all industries.

If you are a small business or sole-trader seeking first-class support, look no further than the FSB.

I have been a proud member for ten years and have found their products, services and advice to be invaluable, particularly during the pandemic.

The help I received from my local FSB Development Manager meant I was able to secure much-needed grant funding when I had lost hope. He went way above the call of duty in my hour of need, for which I will always be grateful.

What's more, while suffering from Covid-related health issues the team at FSB Care were amazing, supporting me through a particularly tricky time.

I highly recommend joining the FSB. You won't be disappointed.

I recently attended a zoom meeting held by the FSB in relation to the high court ruling on business insurance. I found this to be very informative and well explained. This was a free meeting for members and non members alike, which I also appreciated as I am not currently a member but have been considering joining for a while.

I attended a very well thought-out and presented webinar on business insurance. I wasn't sure I was going to learn anything new as I'd done my own research but that wasn't the case at all - I picked up a lot of useful information, some of which I will be able to discuss with our broker. I always recommend the FSB to anyone starting or running a small business (having been a member for something like 20 years!), and the webinars, and phone advice I've received from the legal and employment helplines during this past year (of Covid-19) have made all the difference to this very confusing and stressful time.

It was an excellent presentation. The speakers made it very easy to understand what had transpired as a result of the Supreme Court Hearing. The only down side is the fact that I now accept that I cannot see how I can make a valid claim!!

Great advice and support. FSB membership is a must for any small business and I wouldn't be without it!

The FSB has been really supportive since I joined in 2012. During this covid lockdown, Simon reached out to offer support when he found out I was going through a lot. His advice and support helped me get access to all the govt support I could access. I don't know how I would have been able to shield, lose my business and now, looking at relaunching again without their support and signposting. The webinars they put on are equally educative with resources to help SMEs. If you're a small business, you would do yourself good by joining the FSB. It's a no-brainer especially their Legal Hub where you can find sample letters and policies to adapt to suit your business needs and ensure compliance. Take advantage today of the resources they have at your disposal.

This was a very informative event and I would be keen to become a member of the FSB. I have followed the supreme court hearing closely as this has been a devastating time for our business and I am appalled by the lack of help offered by our insurers.
You covered the important issues very clearly and I now feel I have done all I can.
