FSB run some great seminars /webinars to help SME's navigate some complex/detailed areas of business.

Recent session on Social Value in procurement was very informative with lots of guidance. So thank you

I found the topic extremely useful and I am already rethinking how we present ourselves to meet the expectations of the Public Sector.

The presenters knew their stuff, there was the odd technical glitch as happens with home working - or I would have given it 5 stars.

I've really found the FSB events helpful, they've covered a diverse range of issues and each one has been well run and informative

i have found the FSB online networking to be excellent and certainly a business lifeline during the current restrictions. The need not to travel is an added bonus.

I have been a member of FSB for several years and would recommend it to all small business owners.

From networking, insurance, policies, information hubs and everything in-between, it is an exceptional resource that I feel is a must for every small business.

If you are interested in joining I do recommend you have a chat to one of the fsb team and they can fill you in on all the benefits and advantages of being a member of the federation of small businesses.

All experiences I've had with FSB have been really beneficial, although I feel like I haven't made the most of their wide range of services yet, and hope to do so more. I joined my first virtual networking event today, which was great and everyone was extremely welcoming!

Excellent service and great value. I have been a member for just under a year and have used lots of the services offered through the FSB, documents, legal service and networking and I also have to say the representative I joined through has been fantastic and has so much knowledge so shout out for Tim Brock.

I have been a Fsb member for a few years now and I have never had to call on there services until this year ! I was having some problems with the local council regarding Covid 19 grants and receiving them. So I thought I would drop the Fsb local branch an email to see if they had any advice, they put me in contact with a lovely lady called Karen Woolley who gave me some outstanding advice and even offered to email the council on my behalf to see if they could assist in getting the matter sorted. We did get an successful outcome and I can’t thank them enough for taking the time to help me.

I would say that the yearly membership if fantastic value !! For money.

For the first in nearly 10 years I have used FSB and I can honestly say that they have been a great help. I was supported all the way by Mr Foster and his team who fought on my behalf . I would highly recommand all small businesses to join the FSB.

The FSB has superior services for the investment level than anything else I’ve ever joined. The piece of mind you have knowing that if you have a tax or legal issue you can get great support quickly, from experts is worth the membership on its own. When my daughter fell ill and I couldn’t work their Redarc service helped me keep going. You never know what’s around the corner, but having FSB on my side means I’m never afraid to look.

Having a connection to people who can help with any problems you have and the monthly zoom meetings for local businesses networking and picking up ideas is invaluable

I have been a member of the FSB ever since I opened my business 15 years ago. The support I have been given has been superb, coupled with free banking from the Coop, a super insurance service, plus the free legal and HR advice. You also get a real sense of being part of a larger concern and the lobbying of Government by the FSB makes you realise that you are not just a 'little' voice in a huge sea. This is a must for anyone starting a business.

Every business's go to place for advice, and help. Knowing you have the support there is so reassuring.

I joined the FSB in December 2020, after setting up my own business a couple of months earlier. Initially, I attended virtual networking sessions but then decided to join the FSB for the support and insurance benefits of membership. I find the virtual networking invaluable for meeting new, like-minded businesspeople and for helping to build a client base

With a large number of benefits, including free banking, legal related matters, along with the networking opportunities, it offers fantastic value for money All that along with the small business policy related work that it does makes it a great organisation for the small business..
I have been a member for 15 years plus and would highly recommend the FSB and have done so on numerous occasions to my clients and other small businesses.

As a small business owner getting any action /help with banking issues can be tiresome and take an inordinate amount of precious time. So having spent days dealing with the bank without success I mentioned it to my local DM. Help arrived in minutes with contact details for a banking knight in shining armour. Within the hour the issue was all sorted. FSB membership is so worthwhile, the local support is super helpful and nationally their resources and campaigns are something every small business owner should be part of. You never know when you need to use your membership and it’s so worth joining the fold.

I run a small driving school with a few ADI’s. Nothing like the ‘big boys’ but we provide a great service to our students. The lockdowns have hit us hard. The DVSA has made it clear we are not allowed to deliver driving lessons and in my case I was denied any financial support at all. I didn’t even qualify for the 80% grant of my net income. I used up all my savings just to keep my head above water and a few weeks ago I turned to the FSB for advice and support. I’ll be honest. With so many previous nock backs I never expected too much. However, I spoke with Claire Reading the business development manager for South & East Yorkshire & The Humber. Claire put me in touch with Chris Page at East Riding Council and he could not have been more understanding and helpful.
Today my business has received a grant from East Riding Council. I am shocked but elated that at last we have received the financial support given to so many others by the government but denied us. Thank you FSB and thank you East Riding Council.
If you are a small business you really should consider joining the FSB. One of the best business moves I have ever made.

Exceptional!!! Since joining FSB last August I've gained lots of useful tips about running my business. Things like coaching and attending webinars etc has proved helpful in developing my company. I would strongly recommend the FSB to all small businesses.

I have been FSB member for almost 10 years. In the past, I've used them sporadically and greatly appreciated discounts and legal help when I had some questions. Last year, they have provided enormous help with COVID guidelines, funding and representing small businesses to the local and national government. Having their back, I feel like part of a large corporation with access to lobbyists, lawyers and health and safety advice that I would not normally have as a small business.

FSB's online webinars, where experiences are shared on a local basis, are a great source of support, only if to find out that you are not on your own with regards to what current circumstances throughs at us small businesses, and to gain knowledge thanks to someone who has deciphered the intricacies of regulations for you. It's good to feel that there are people who will genuinely try to help.

Had a clear and comprehensive welcome call after joining them. Very helpful staff member explained everything that FSB can offer and support our business with. Their website explained clearly so I can use it effectively, all the links to files and support documents.
