Welcome aboard wwinteriors

So are you a part time FSB recruiter?

Must admit, have heard mixed reports over the years. We used to get regular visits from the FSB at our old office, and it used to be a real aggressive full on sales pitch, which was an instant turn off.

For us the cost for potential rewards didn't add up, possible cheaper insurance, advice etc, or at least in the pitches we had.

Since moving office, we haven't been tracked down yet

But some people swear by them, so if it works for you, good stuff.

I have some mixed feelings on this one and I suppose not actually being a business owner would make my opinion probably be a bit lob-sided.

The idea of a 'Federation or Association' to help small businesses for a nominal fee seems a fantastic idea and the benefits on offer are usually discounts on certain things. 'Cheap Insurance' is one where you could probably get the same rate yourself shopping around but I would say the back-up and legal sides of the package is worth probably more than your 15% off coupon....

Is anyone else an FSB member and did you join for the comfort of the back up or the Cheaper deal on your insurance which in some cases pays for your annual membership!!
