Keeping up with changes in regulations can be a major problem for small businesses.

FSB Legal Helpline

The FSB Legal Helpline should be the first people to contact when you have a question about regulations and how they affect you.
Available 24 hours a day, every day of the year and staffed by qualified solicitors and barristers no matter what time you call to ensure you receive the best possible legal advice, fast!
There is no charge for using this service and no limit on how many times you can call – it's all included in your annual subscription.
It helps if you have your membership number available when you call.

Essex FSB Help

Essex FSB helps in a number of ways:

• Monthly Essex Voice of Business Briefings with speakers from Business Link East, Health and Safety Executive and Essex County Council Libaries Business Information Services sharing details of new regulations.
  Full details of forthcoming meetings at Essex Events.
• Every two months the Essex Voice of Business magazine has an eight page full colour pull out section which highlights changes in regulations.
  This is helpfully arranged by business sector to make it easier for you to find the information relevant to you.

ERWIN (Everything Regulation, Whenever it's Needed)

And there is also ERWIN which is a free business support website that has been developed with the help of business leaders across the country. 

Instead of having to spend time trying to understand complex legislation, ERWIN will do this for you by providing a one stop shop website for all regulatory advice in an innovative way.

Ridiculous Rules

There are times when businesses come across regulations that have an impact on the operations that far exceeds any benefits for their business, staff or customers.
If you come across such a regulation please email details to us so we can raise your concerns with those responsible.
It is only by challenging such regulations that we can get them changed!
Please send details to Essex FSB Regional Organiser, Keith Brown.
