Legal and Tax Advice

"We joined FSB because  as a small business we often need to take advice. We joined when we had  6 employees and have used the legal dept several  times and their help has been invaluable.
 
Also very reassuring to know we can get support should we ever have a tax audit. Well worth the membership fee, we have yet to attend any of the networking sessions but hope to do so in the near future."  Debra Clark, Director, ProtecX Medical Ltd

Professional and Understanding

"We have joined the FSB because of the professional and understanding way it was presented to us. This attitude has continued whenever we have contacted them." Watton on Stone Service Station 

Help For Small Businesses

"I joined the FSB because I do not know everything about running a small business. It is nice to know there are thousands of people in the same situation as me and I am not alone. The FSB is the first place I turn to if I need help.  The FSB enables me to reduce the risk and uncertainty of running a small business." Gary Hayward, Red Squirrel Brewery

Support and Encouragement

"Going through the initial stages of setting up of a business can be very daunting, challenging and sometimes set with doubts!
 
Your visit and time taken to go through the key elements of what the FSB can offer has really helped settle my mind about going into this venture and to know that there is support out there by way of yourself and the FSB is really encouraging."  Mark Bryan A2Zoom Photograghy Knebworth

Great for Growing your Business

"I first joined the FSB when I moved to Stevenage from Watford and started ARCH Gardening.

 The FSB have been very good for my growing business.  The legal line has helped with staff and employment issues and the networking has meant that I have met other individuals who, like myself, are new to self-employment and running their own company.  I now have four staff and picked up a Hertfordshire Business Award – the FSB has certainly helped me get this far!  I know that they will be there while my company continues to grow and are certainly worth the small membership fee each year.

I shall certainly continue my membership while in business and would recommend others to join immediately!"  Caroline Howells (RHS), ARCH Gardening
