Campaigning for a better business environment

The Forum actively engages with a community of 18,000 small businesses and champions their views and concerns with all levels of government, the media and the wider business community.

Small businesses make a massive contribution to the UK's economy - our key campaign aims are to highlight this and to lobby to make it simpler and more profitable to run a small firm.

Background

The Forum was established by small business owners in 1977 as a lobbying group to fight for the fair treatment of small firms.

Over the years, as the business landscape has changed, so too have the needs of our members. To stay relevant, our offering has evolved and is now led by our business support services, aimed at promoting and boosting the profitable growth of small firms from all sectors and across the UK.
