BUSINESS
Has the pandemic left your business
feeling isolated during lockdown?
The Covid 19 pandemic has taken it’s toll on
the small local business community and in turn
the local economy. This is the case across the
whole of the UK and the continued lockdown
is continuing to threaten the High Street, as we
know it, with a number of well-known stores
closing their doors for good. Fortunately the
light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter
with the restrictions easing and the roadmap to
recovery becoming clearer.
At The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB)
we have been busy supporting and protecting
businesses during this challenging time
ensuring the voice of the small business owner
is heard loud and clear. FSB is a ‘not for profit’
organisation that is led by our members, for
our members. Our mission is to help smaller
businesses achieve their ambitions. We are
proud to be the leading voice of 5.8 million
small businesses and self-employed people
across the UK, working to promote and protect
your interests.
FSB is here to help.
We offer our members a wide range of vital
business services including advice, financial
expertise, support and a powerful voice heard
in local, UK-wide and devolved governments
across the country.
