FPB, as the only full UK member of UEAPME – the organisation which represents small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Europe – is the most prominent advocate of UK SMEs in Brussels and has a track record of positively affecting legislation prior to its introduction in the UK.
FPB also provides a range of business services aimed at increasing member efficiency and profitability.

The CBI was incorporated by Royal Charter in 1965.
The ultimate governing body of the CBI is its Council, comprising a broad representation of its membership. In practice, the Council has delegated the majority of its decision-making powers to the Chairmen’s Committee and the CBI Board.
The CBI consults and supports its members through a regional organisation. Each of these 12 regions has a regional council elected from the members and is supported by CBI staff located locally. There are also 16 standing committees of the CBI charged with supporting specific areas of policy or members. Through this regional and standing committee structure the CBI is able to consult its members and involve them in policy formulation.
The Chairmen’s Committee (which has at least 10% of its members representing SMEs) is made up of the chairmen of the 12 elected regional councils and of the 16 standing committees. It takes the lead responsibility for setting the CBI’s position on all policy matters. It proposes to the annual general meeting of members a candidate for election as President of the CBI, and a candidate for Deputy President.
