This is the time to win back the trust of small business owners and end the anti-entrepreneur era, FSB’s @craigie_b tells @SkyNews ahead of Wednesday’s #Budget2026.

Our National Chair @tinamckenz has launched today's report by the Small Business Regulatory Taskforce, alongside Prime Minister Andy Burnham, Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds, and Small Business Minister Lord Leong. 14 out of the 15 red-tape-cutting measures put forward by the taskforce - which was co-chaired by Tina - have been agreed to by the government, including a reversal of plans by Companies House to force even the smallest businesses to file full profit-and-loss accounts.

FSB members: Do you have experience of international trade and want to help shape the policies that affect small businesses? 🌍 We’re looking for an FSB member to join our UK Policy Committee (UKPC) and bring their experience of buying or selling internationally, or supporting businesses that do. It’s an opportunity to help make sure the realities facing small businesses are reflected in FSB’s thinking and policy work on international trade. You’ll have the opportunity to shape FSB’s campaigning and help make the case for an environment where more small businesses can better trade internationally. This is a volunteer role that can be undertaken around running your own business; there's a commitment to attend quarterly FSB UKPC meetings and meet with FSB staff monthly. Interested? 📨 Email [email protected] by 13 November to find out more or express your interest.
