Firm i used to work for was a member, its not a rip off, but I dont think it would be of huge benefit to me personally.

 

From what I remember, the best thing was a free legal advice service, came in handy once or twice.

I'm a member. When I first set up on my own as a one man band they gave me a lot of advice which was very useful.

 

The amount they saved me in tax and banking charges alone paid for at least the first three years of membership.

 

However, now I'm a bit more established I'm less sure of the benefits of being a member.

 

Can be good for networking though if you're into that sort of thing.

My dad used to be with them, they were very helpful with legal advice, tax, wages blah blah which was good when he was starting up.

 

But now hes got his insurance with NFU and there very helpful with everything to, so hes not with FSB anymore but cant fault NFU with the help hes recived.

Hi,

As others have pointed out the FSB can be very useful in assisting you to comply with ALL those other areas you need to comply with if your are an employer that are nothing to do with arb. The 'Employment Law' issue itself I would suggest is reaosn enough to consider it as this changes almost weekly theese days and ensuring you keep up-to-speed is essential to avoid breaching the law and/or neglecting your duties. Many 'Approved Contractors' are members and feel it gives them value for money AND piece of mind.

Cheers..
