Federation of Small Businesses
Latest Reviews
I regard my membership as a Union for the self employed and small businesses, there to advise and protect its members from the shifting sands of government policy, legal requirements, financial uncertainty , global influences and local markets. Somebody is watching my back and putting my point of view over.

I've only been a member for a year and this year have made a commitment to myself to get more involved and it's only for this reason I've not given five stars. As a media professional, I find it tricky to understand why the FSB isn't more proactive in 'selling' itself to local businesses. I now have a better understanding of the organisation's PR strategy so that makes more sense. I welcomed my one to one at the end of my first year which opened my eyes to what I was missing.

The FSB is the only organisation in the UK that represents and supports small businesses at affordable subscription prices.
They strive to be continually aware of compliance and complex issues that face small businesses, and champion their causes with robust and consistent lobbying and representations with all Government departments. They provide a range of practical benefits to small businesses, some included within the membership prices with special rates negotiated for extended services. We have been members for more than a decade, and have received support from them on employment law issues, legal issues, cyber insurance, jury service compensation, office and PI and cyber insurances and benefitted from extensive templates for legal, HR, Health & Safety policies, contracts and other helpful documents that most small businesses need for the most up to date compliance legislation.

Long standing member. Excellent regular communication from FSB re policy, other members, new initiatives etc. The most valuable service for me is the legal advice. I've used it on many occasions relating to employment law and, on one occasion, to counter a serious allegation against me from one of my employees. A very serious situation but the advice I received was comprehensive and reliable.

Although I haven't used the many tools, support & services (apart from Business Insurance) available for businesses from the FSB, I know that they are there when needed.
Knowing that they are supporting SME's in the wider political forum is invaluable.

I think FSB does a stunning job for small businesses and everyone should be a member.

I've been a member for five years now. I find great value for insurance, etc, and incredibly useful services like debt collection letters and responsive help lines for tax, legal issues, etc. included for an amazingly low subscription.
I recommend the FSB to all my business contacts.

Joined the FSB 11 years ago and found them invaluable as I went through the process of starting up my own company. Laws, rules and regulations change so often when you employ people, and having the FSB Legal team on hand is like having a your own HR department.
They offer lots of networking opportunities, online document templates, policy updates and lots more that I could not do without.
All for an annual subscription, excellent value for money and a wonderful resource to have.

Used to like it more when we had proper regional and local committees feeding back.

I only joined to get 'free' Cooperative business banking, well it costs the annual membership fee, but it's still cheaper than paying for a business banking account direct. Other than that I don't find any benefit to me or my business. I tried their insurance for quotes but they were uncompetitive on both vehicle and public liability, nor could they offer professional indemnity. I also tried the legal helpline once but did not gain any knowledge I didn't already have. If you want to network, you might get some extra benefit.

I was very disappointed that I did not receive any help after the catastrophic flood which wiped out my business on July 30th2019.

I’ve found them a terrific help and they’ve saved me money in my business banking and insurance. Very friendly representatives and regular networking events. They are very much on our side. I highly recommend them!

Joined the FSB after some umming and arring. Straightaway I more that saved our annual fee with better insurance rates and reduced worldpay fees. For that alone it was worth it. The legal support has also proved useful as well. It is nice to know they are behind our small family enterprise with some expertise that otherwise would be difficult and expensive to access.

Brilliant organisation for the small business. Where else can you go and get free banking, legal related matters, networking and to meet great people for a small fee each year. Been a member for 10 years plus and would highly recommend the FSB and have done on numerous occasions to other small business.

An excellent and all-round service for small businesses. Far too many aspects covered through legal, insurance, networking etc., to start listing them here.

The FSB has been great supporting my small business and myself with my employees, the FSB has allowed me to have the correct legal documents in place for my staff, we have also used the legal help line on a few occasion with first class help advice and support. #FSBconnect is also a great way to network with other businesses and members in your region too. The self service allowed to take as little or as much as you like too.
