Entries are now open for the FSB Celebrating Small Business Awards 2022.
About FSB
The Federation of Small Business (FSB) is the UK’s biggest business membership organisation, established in 1974, offering our members a powerful voice which is heard in governments at all levels. FSB also offers vital business services and products and the opportunity to be part of the UK’s biggest and most supportive small business and self-employed community.
FSB supports the UK’s 5.9 million small businesses and self-employed, who make up more than 99 per cent of all private sector businesses. They contribute a staggering amount to the UK’s economy as well as being a major source of employment; more than 16 million people are employed by smaller firms.
Since the start of COVID-19, FSB has campaigned on numerous central issues that affected our members, not least ensuring that as much government support as possible was put in place, as quickly as possible, for as many members as possible affected by the coronavirus pandemic. At the same time, we created and delivered resources and tools across the UK to help members with their survival and opportunities for new growth in the midst of a very different world.
About the Awards
The FSB Celebrating Small Business Awards recognise and celebrate the huge contribution that smaller businesses and the self-employed make to the UK.
We celebrate the UK’s small businesses and recognise each and every person, company or family that owns, runs or works in a smaller business. They are our innovators, our economic drivers and the backbone of our communities. It is their businesses that embody the creativity and resilience that fuels the UK’s prosperity.
