Hi George,
i have been a member of FSB for about 5 years and i think they are value for money.
They give you advice over the phone any time of day and night and have many experts to help you out, esp if you get tax problems etc.

You also get preferential treatment with some banks and taking credit card payments which i fouind extremely helpful.

Probably one of the more genuine organizations to deal with amongst all the dodgy ones. ::)
regards
steve

It's funny you mention the FSB as my missis had them around today, sounds alright, I think ill join for the main reason that they give legal help if investigated by the tax man, I pay £120 a year for this already but the FSB are cheeper to join and you get all the other benifits cant go wrong or can I ?

James,

i been investigated by Inland Rev, you dont need legal advice ???

they investigate several million buisness's a year at complete random.

they just go through your accounts again, turned out i owed then £50 which was added to next year.

you dont need legal help, unless you got somthing to hide. not suggesting you hav just saying being investigated nothing to worry about 8)

Hi Guys,

If you want a small business organisation to help out, particularly in your early days then this lot are about the best.

We were members many moons ago .
