The Forum of Private Business

The Forum of Private Business is the voice and advocate of private enterprise and has 26,000 member-firms. We are a powerful lobbyist in Westminster, Edinburgh and Cardiff and uniquely influential in the European Union through our association with UEAPME, the European small business organisation. We raise awareness amongst policy-makers of the concerns of owner-managers of small businesses, lead respected research on the needs of smaller firms and base our policies on referendums of our members. We have campaigned successfully for a better deal from high street banks for SMEs and were instrumental in making sure that legislation on late payment reached the statute book. The Forum continues to press for a reduction in red tape and legislation which constrains smaller businesses. Also, FPB offers a range of services to members. These assist improved efficiencies and profitability.
