Small businesses with 0-10 employees can access the scheme on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.
Representing business interests via the FSB
“We are thrilled to offer Chelmsford businesses a further opportunity to take advantage of the range of business support services offered. Previous rounds of this scheme have proved to be highly successful. As businesses continue to face challenges and uncertainties, it is important that organisations are clear where they can access support. Offering businesses fully funded FSB membership compliments the comprehensive business support package we have developed to respond to local business needs at this time.
Councillor Simon Goldman, Deputy Cabinet member for Economic Development and Small Business, Chelmsford City Council
“It is great to see Chelmsford City Council continuing to offer a high level of support to their small business community. FSB are totally committed to furthering the aims and ambitions of small businesses and we are working together in partnership to make this happen.
Jade Uko, FSB Essex Development Manager
Lobbying is at the forefront of what FSB does and members can also benefit from having a powerful voice in Government, raising awareness of the issues affecting small businesses and campaigning for changes in law. I look forward to meeting new members and representing their views in Essex and beyond.
For more information on membership and benefits, please visit the FSB website.
To enquire about joining via the free membership scheme, please contact FSB Membership Advisor Jeremy Reeve at Jeremy.reeve@fsb.org.uk.
