Established over 45 years ago to help our members succeed in business, we are a non-profit making and non-party political organisation that’s led by our members, for our members.

Members receive an exclusive package of great value business services including advice, financial products and support. The benefits include protection in the case of tax inspection, legal and HR advice, as well as local networking groups and business banking.

We don’t only provide fantastic membership benefits – FSB is also the UK’s leading business campaigner, focused on delivering change which supports smaller businesses to grow and succeed. Our policy and advocacy team in Westminster focuses on UK and English policy issues. Further to this, our expert teams in Glasgow, Cardiff and Belfast work with governments, elected members and decision-makers in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

We are the largest Chamber of Commerce in the UK with the best business advice, opinion, news and expertise in Greater Manchester and further afield.

The Chamber’s policy team represents members’ views on issues such as transport, environment, skills and the economy across all ten Greater Manchester local authority areas.

We use our influence with local and central government to lobby on behalf of our members as the voice of the Greater Manchester business community.

We are one of 52 Chambers of Commerce across the UK who are accredited by British Chambers of Commerce (BCC). It is a dynamic and independent business network and an authentic voice for British businesses.
