About FSB
The quiet force behind UK small business.
Running a business in the UK means navigating an increasingly complex landscape – employment law that shifts without warning, tax investigations that arrive unannounced, rising costs and business rates that feel increasingly disconnected from reality.
Most small business owners handle these pressures alone, or pay separately for legal advice, HR support and tax protection as problems arise. FSB membership means that infrastructure is already in place before you need it.
The Federation of Small Businesses represents over 150,000 businesses across the UK. We lobby on behalf of small businesses, recent successful campaigns have included employment law reform, business rates, late payment, VAT thresholds, access to finance and energy costs.
When the rules change, FSB is already in the room.
FSB membership gives you the support, protection and representation your business needs – already in place, for one low annual membership, with no binding contracts or monthly retainers.
Because the reality is, very few businesses are untouched by these pressures.
Membership benefits
This is what membership looks like.
Most small businesses already pay separately for these services – often through expensive long-term contracts.

Tax Investigation Protection HMRC enquiries arrive unexpectedly, even when you have an accountant. Membership includes up to £100,000 of tax investigation cover if HMRC opens an enquiry into your business. |
HR & Employment From recruitment to redundancy and TUPE processes. Employment advice, contracts and tribunal protection already built into your membership. |
| Legal Document Hub Over 1,500 legal documents, contracts and templates, checked by lawyers and ready to use. All documents are reviewed and updated regularly to reflect changes in legislation. |
Debt Recovery Recover unpaid invoices with free step-by-step guidance, and template letters or discounted solicitor support — 80% of cases resolved before court. |
PR & Crisis Management Up to £10,000 of public relations consultancy cover. Professional crisis communication support if something publicly threatens your business — press statements, media handling and crisis communications. |
| Access to Finance Access to a panel of over 100 lenders and banks, with free credit checks and tailored funding options whether you are launching, expanding or managing cash flow. |
Local Business Representation FSB maintains working relationships with local councils, MPs and business groups across London. Membership means that if you hit a wall locally, you have an organisation behind you that knows the right doors to knock on. |
Business Insurance Access to FSB Insurance Service, an FCA regulated commercial broking service specialising in small businesses and employers, including employers’ liability, professional indemnity and more specialist cover. |
Who you are speaking to
Hi, I’m Lorraine Lewis, your local FSB Membership Advisor. I am London based, working primarily with businesses across Southwark and Lambeth. I regularly meet business owners at events I hold in Peckham, Brixton and Canada Water.
I help business owners to understand whether FSB membership is right for them and to guide them through the joining process. I can explain membership options, answer questions, and provide ongoing local support. You are welcome to call me on the number at the top of this page, or email me at [email protected], request a call back by completing the contact form on this website, or meet me in person – details of where I will be can be found on my events page. When you speak to me, there is no obligation to register for membership and there is no hard sell.
Being active in the local business community also means that, where appropriate, I may be able to introduce you to local organisations, events, or contacts that could benefit your business, whether or not you decide to become an FSB member.
This website is operated independently by Lorraine Lewis in her capacity as an FSB Membership Advisor and is not the official Federation of Small Businesses corporate website. For corporate information about FSB and its national activities, please visit the official FSB website at FSB.org.uk.

Are you currently tied into a long-term HR or legal services contract? You are not alone – and it is worth understanding your options before your next renewal date arrives. Many contracts renew automatically, often for another five to seven years, if cancellation notice is not given in time. Get in touch and I will note your renewal date, explain what FSB membership includes, and make sure you have the information you need before that window closes.
