Speaking up for small businesses 

We’re making sure small businesses are heard effectively, in local government, on local issues. 


"Local government can have a major and positive impact on small business opportunities and outcomes. That is why, at the Federation of Small Businesses, we work closely with local and regional government across the England regions, to bring the small business voice to the fore." 

Karen Durcan, FSB Director of English Regions

With the extensive reach and potential impact of local and regional government stakeholders on small business issues, we’re making sure small businesses are heard effectively.
