In February this year (2022) I was given notice to leave my business premises after 36yrs loyal trading on a business park now owned by a housing developer. To say I was shocked was an understatement. I wasn’t getting anywhere with the local council, nor with local councillors from any party. No one wanted to know and I was at my wits end. Then I remembered the FSB! I wasn’t a member at the time, but I had nowhere else to turn. One phone call and I signed up and spoke to a member of the legal team who gave me hope. A welcome call from FSB’s Simon Edmonds soon introduced me to a gentleman call Robert Downes, who fought like hell to get meetings with both council member and Bus. Pk owners. We thought we had a win, but due to the time taken by the Business Park Owners dragging their feet it was too little too late!
I could not have gotten so far without the continued help and support of the FSB.
I wanted you to know how much it meant to have your support through one of my darkest times.
Thank you once again!

Oh what a fantastic way to spend an hour! The first half of this webinar was Joyce talking about her journey as a late diagnosed autistic woman. The rest was Q&A which resulted in lots of great examples of different ways of working and inclusion. If you go to the FSB website you can watch it for yourself before 120 days from 3 October 2022, I think.
So, the bottom line is that the FSB has such a lot to offer, on all sorts of subjects, and that's along side all of the obvious businessy benefits when you're running a small business. I love being a member.

As part of my membership I have recently used FSB Care. I would recommend the FSB to a business owner that needs help and support.

I have been a member for a while but until yesterday never really had the opportunity to fully grasp the wide range of benefits that FSB membership offers. I spoke to the most helpful and delightful person: Sarah King (thank you Sarah :-)) and I am now totally convinced that every SME needs to be a member!

The services offered by FSB are unrivalled, truly a very cost effective and very useful resource.

I have been a member of the FSB for several years. Initially I joined for protection with the HMRC investigation insurance. Then found out everything they offer, a great legal hub, business lobbying, debt collection and so much more. It is a fantastic organisation, which if you're a small business owner I would highly recommend.

I attended another excellent webinar with the FSB yesterday. It was a free event, one of many they offer. I learnt a lot and came away highly inspired to put what I learnt into practice. I highly recommend them and would encourage others to check out their current calendar of events.

Having been a member of the FSB for a few years, was reminded of the FSB care benefit earlier this year. After an initial chat and being quickly referred onto a nurse, she became my contact to oversee any treatment. Therapy sessions were quickly approved and arranged and were most beneficial.

Having founded my company in January, I knew I needed to get the word out there to the UK business community, I asked myself how I would do this.
Having never networked before, I decided to do some research online and found the FSB. It seemed like a good place to start my networking journey and to spread the word about my company. So, I decided to sign up to some networking events to see how it would go. I was immediately felt very welcome by the FSB community and started attending more and more events throughout the UK. It was a great way to meet new people and discuss business with other like-minded people.
I was starting to receive great feedback about my company in the networking events, and it wasn't too long before I signed up my first client from an FSB event. Fast forward to September, having taken a few months off during the summer, I can now say I have signed up at least 20 clients through networking on FSB.
I feel very much appreciated that I have been able to meet so many new people through the FSB, and hopefully I have been able to help their businesses grow.
I want to thank everyone at FSB who have made me feel very welcome and have helped my business grow.

The FSB offers an impressive array of services as part of the membership and we are looking forward to digging into the available resources to make sure our business is well covered. Anita was very helpful and informative and gave us a really good overview of the offer. She also walked us through the registration process and was incredibly patient whilst we fumbled around with our tech!

There is something very special within this FSB space. You dont have to ring a bell to prove your worth but if you do want to, there is space to do so.
Space for Grace is created to allow folk to express themselves.
It was made clear to me right from the beginning what to expect and so far I have not been disappointed.
Everyone within is keen to deliver quality service and make people feel welcome.
If you need legal support.... Its there.
If you need Health support.... its there.
If you need business advice..... its there.
If you need a shoulder to cry on......its there.
The time has flown and I have learnt so much from others and it has been good to hear about what others do 'out there'.
One isnt left alone so if anyone is wondering what to do speak with another member or jump on for free to get a feel of how the excellent moderators stage the meetings.
One member asked me to do some work for him and he kindly commented that I did more for him in 2 hours than one company that sounds like Dougal has done in 3 months. Business like this wouldnt have happened had it not been for the FSB. Thank you and for those who get on board......Enjoy the ride.

This service is so valuable - I had an existing condition with my knees and was paying for physiotherapy, however, FSB Care agreed to cover 6 sessions - saving me £240! Very promptly dealt with and seamless processing, and they also rang me a few times after I had some sessions to see how I was doing!

Anita was excellent with onboarding me into the FSB and helping me set up my membership. She gave me a comprehensive breakdown of the benefits my business will be entitled to as a member and some invaluable advice on starting and running my new limited company.

Anita was brilliant and very patient, talking me through every step of the process before, during and after registering with FSB. I never felt rushed or pressured to join at any time and the whole process was very relaxed. I felt very comfortable, like i was talking to a friend. Delighted to be part of this organisation with confidence to know that i am fully supported.

I specifically joined FSB as a member as they were offering a webinar for disabled entrepreneurs and the barriers we face. Sam Holliday expertly facilitated the webinar and I found all the presenters offering wisdom, reassurance, and inspiration, which I really appreciated. I look forward to exploring my membership even more and discovering more wonderful resources for disabled business owners.

I was lucky enough to get a place on the FSB's webinar on "Get it right with image copyright" a couple of days ago. It was excellent. I came away far more informed about the subject. The speakers and host made it friendly and relatable. I would highly recommend this organisation.

The FSB has enabled me to get chiropractic care all as part of my membership. That's just one of the many benefits. I would recommend.

I have only been a member of the FSB for a short time but have been so impressed with the range and quality of the services - most of which I had no idea they provided before i joined. Their range of information provision, especially though webinars, is outstanding and the webinars are professionally organised and facilitated. The well-being services too are excellent and easily accessible and I would highly recommend the FSB and the quality of the wonderful services they provide.
