I am in the federation of small businesses.  I haven't been an active member though.  It does cover the accountancy fees if investigated by the IR.  That is worth the membership fee alone just in case they ever want to take a look.

Yer i was thinking about joing this one and one of the window cleaning ones

For the FSB my last renewal was £100 for the year.  The first year was a bit more though (about £120 I think).  They charge the extra on the first year as a "set-up fee".

[jaykie]

Im waiting for someone to ring me from FSB, and yes its £120 a year.

Chris

[jaykie]

Sorry its £130 as its £30 set up.

FSB is total value for money.

Any of the so called dedicated window cleaning organisations are a total waste of money when you base overall what you pay in and what you get out.
