Federation of Small Businesses (FSB)

As experts in business, we offer our members a wide range of vital business services including advice, financial expertise, support and a powerful voice in government. Our mission is to help smaller businesses achieve their ambitions. Established over 40 years ago to help our members succeed in business, we are a non-profit making organisation that's run by members, for members. Members get an exclusive package of great value business services including advice, financial products and support. These cover a wide range of benefits such as tax, legal and HR, local network groups and business banking. We don't only deliver membership benefits, FSB is also the UK's leading campaigning pressure group that promotes the interests of businesses in the UK. Our lobbying arm is led by the Westminster Press and Parliamentary office with key Press and Parliamentary offices in Glasgow, Cardiff and Belfast to lobby the devolved assemblies. Our team works alongside regional agencies to further influence at a regional level.
