Martin was expert at helping to navigate the full suite of FSB resources and info'. It's a truly supportive community and invaluable source of information that cuts through the endless internet searches for answers. I have no doubt that I'll be calling on the FSB over the coming years for sound advice.

Just spoke with Derek, what an amazing guy, he spoke about all the benefits fsb has to offer, we are opening our first kiosk in a shopping mall and will be employing staff within the next few months, the benefits of fsb are great and the yearly subscription is a fraction of Croner with whom I've have just recently had a meeting with. Thank you Derek.

I would like to thank the FSB on behalf of my business and our local business community for the FSB’s support and assistance when our local Council attempted to treble our ground rent on our business park.
Despite forming a cooperative consisting of the majority of our long leaseholder neighbours and engaging specialist lawyers, professional Surveyors and the assistance of local Councillors, we didn’t gain any tangible concessions from the Council until the FSB joined our cause.
The size, influence and lobbying power the FSB weald was the turning point in our dispute and without Ann Scott of the FSB's involvement they would have continued to push through their totally unjust demands.
Thanks to the FSB and Ann, many jobs and businesses have been saved and local services retained to support the local community.
Whilst this was the primary reason we joined we have now realised the other benefits of being a member and we are reviewing the legal, employment and H&S advisory support that the FSB provides. We are also about to use the FSB’s data base for standard contracts, leases and licences that we use in our everyday business.

I joined the FSB in January 2024 and had a variety of objectives - from utilising document templates, to making connections and understanding the landscape for small businesses.
I organised a call with my local Development Manager, Ann Scott, and she could not have been more helpful. After I explained my business, she sent through a raft of contacts at potential customers, investment ideas, research grant opportunities and more. It has massively accelerated our work and I am very grateful.
The FSB has a long list of useful resources online, but the added value of talking to the Development Managers and seeing how they can help you is incredible - worth the membership fee alone.

The FSB is a great source of learning, support, and inspiration. As I work solo from home and have little background in business, the well-organised and friendly networking meetings are hugely helpful. There is also a wealth of free resources on the FSB site on running a business, and members of FSB are generous in sharing their expertise and advice. I've also benefitted from training sessions on how to set up a business, eg. accounts, marketing, and working with clients. Other benefits far exceed the membership price, such as healthcare services, insurance, and advocacy for small businesses.
I wholeheartedly recommend joining!

I’ve recently attended my second FSB event for women and both times I’ve been struck by the diverse businesses leaders who come together, each offering something unique. I’d highly recommended these expertly hosted events to all women in business, where a warm welcome is guaranteed.

I am absolutely blown away by the service of Karen in the awards Team. Over and above the call of duty! She has helped make the day be possible for me to be a part of it all, I had some obstacles in the way but she has made it happen - thank you SO much!
