About
A local guide to practical business support.
Lorraine Lewis FSB Membership Advisor – London. I help business owners understand what FSB membership includes, how it works, and whether it may be useful for their business.
How I work
Clear, direct and relationship-led.
I work as a local FSB Membership Advisor, supporting businesses across London.
My role is straightforward – I help business owners understand what membership with The Federation of Small Businesses includes, what it may replace or complement, and whether it makes sense for their circumstances.
I am not here to pressure people into joining. Many conversations are simply about understanding what support is available, what a business is already paying for elsewhere, and whether FSB membership could simplify things.
My background is in digital marketing, telemarketing and field sales, so talking to business owners and understanding the challenges they face has been a big part of my career. It’s also why you’ll often come across my articles, local events and practical guides. I enjoy sharing information that helps businesses make informed decisions.
The conversation
How it works.
01
Listen first
I start by understanding what your business actually needs, not what a brochure says you should want.
02
Match the support
From FSB membership benefits to local grants, I connect you with what’s relevant right now.
03
You decide what makes sense
If membership is relevant, I can talk you through the next steps. If it is not the right time, the conversation is still useful.
04
I’m still here after you join
Once you are a member, FSB Customer Services are available to help you use your benefits. I remain your local point of contact for events and local introductions.
Why local matters
FSB is national. My work is local.
The Federation of Small Businesses is a national organisation, but small businesses often need local relationships, local visibility and local introductions.
Alongside membership conversations, I organise and support networking events, connect businesses with useful contacts, and build relationships with local councils, business groups, venues and support organisations.
For many businesses, that local connection becomes an important part of the value. I look forward to meeting you at one of our events.
Why I work with FSB
Because the model makes sense for small businesses.
What drew me to FSB was the breadth of support available through one annual membership.
Most of the businesses I speak to are already spending money on some form of legal or HR support. Many are locked into contracts they signed years ago without fully understanding the renewal terms. Others are carrying real risk – an employment dispute, an unexpected HMRC enquiry, a landlord problem – with no protection in place at all.
FSB membership is not perfect for every business. But for most small employers and sole traders, it covers more ground than anything else available at the price. That is why I work with it, and why I believe the combination of practical support, advocacy and local connection is worth explaining properly.
Let’s have a straightforward conversation.
If you are curious about FSB membership, or want to understand whether it fits your business, I am happy to talk it through.
