Hi guys

Before I start, just want to say how enjoyable this forum has become and I notice there are lots of you who are very helpful in terms of information about varies subjects, keep up the good work.

Any way, I am thinking of joining FSB (Federation of small businesses) and wondering how many of you member of this organisation and what you think of it ?

Many thanks for reply.

Worth it for the free banking and tax investigation indemnity alone, IMO.

Cheers

Hi Bosh,

I've been a member for about 7 years and although its not something you use often when you do need them i've found them a lifesaver, well worth the Money!

A few years ago, when i had two businesses running i hit some legal problems and desperatley needed some advice and direction, phoned fsb and true to their word i was straight through to one of there advisers ( an ex tax inspector ) and subsequently one of there solicitors acted in my behalf and it was a massive weight of my shoulders, think i was paying about £70 a year then.

also when i had my shop they got me a merchant account set up for credit cards etc straight off no questions asked, and theres many other benefits included also,  but i think for the legal advice alone is worth it, you never know when you will need it, and if paying could run in to a lot of money.


regards
steve

FSB - Best insurance policy for businesses on the market.
If you use all the benefits etc you would easily get back more than the subscription costs.

Only reason I joined was because the lady said that we can get entry, hospitality etc to the Grand Prix. Turned out it was for some much lower formulae Still, serves me right for thinking that a woman knows the difference between different types of race catagories - should have known right :

Seriously though, I have heard good things from them and its good to have a back up if needed

Fsb give you free support in the event of an IR investigation. I was previously insured for this independently at a cost of about £100 a year.

Very good reason to join.
