Your local High Street needs your support.

Small Businesses need your support.

The UK economy is driven by small businesses. They make up 99% of all UK businesses and they are the engine for growth and job creation.

      Keep Trade Local Manifesto

Our high streets face extinction. Nobody wants this to happen but there is little political will to ensure the future of small businesses. The FSB's Keep Trade Local campaign seeks to stem the tide of business closures, reverse the trend and defend the choice and diversity that customers deserve.

In addition to the Keep Trade Local Manifesto we have produced a number of publications that elaborate on the issues in the Manifesto:

       Read the

              Post Office Manifesto

              Public Procurement Manifesto

              Crime against Business Manifesto

              Parking Manifesto

              Business Rates Manifesto

              A New Approach to the Rural Economy

To encourage the Local Authorities to better help small businesses through the recession the FSB has launched a Small Business Engagement Accord.
