So you're one of the UK's 5 million small business owners - one of 45,000 alone in Lincolnshire. Whether you're a sole trader, self-employed or have a team, the business world, politics and society have ways of throwing curveballs at you, every single day. That can be a stressful, lonely, expensive and busy place to be - but where would the country and county be without you?
Because of all the issues swirling around that affect your productivity and prosperity, the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) has - for the last 50 years - been standing up and speaking up for independent businesses like yours. We influence Government, from local councillors and MPs, right up to the Prime Minister, to create the right changes for you.
While we're at it, we help over 150,000 SMEs to navigate all the things you have to do as a small business owner. From tax to GDPR, from occupational health to jury duty via business banking and legal issues, we're here to help you deal with the scary stuff and find new opportunities, freeing you up to focus on doing what you do best.
If you feel like you could do with saving some time, money and stress, head to stand 9 at the Lincolnshire Business Showcase to talk to your local FSB team - Katrina, Jackie, Steven and Neil - to find out more about all the help open to you from as little as 55p per day.
We're here to help, so let's see how much we can do for you right away.

In the world of online browser games, simple yet entertaining games have become increasingly popular because they are easy to access and enjoyable for players of all ages. One such game is Snow Rider 3D, an endless snowboarding game that combines speed, quick reflexes, and engaging gameplay. Unlike many complex video games that require expensive hardware or long tutorials, snow rider 3d offers instant entertainment. Players only need a keyboard and an internet connection to enjoy thrilling rides down snowy hills filled with obstacles and surprises.
Sprunki stands out among casual games thanks to its charming visuals and intuitive gameplay, providing a relaxing yet stimulating experience that players can return to anytime.
A couple of years ago I ran a small local service business and felt overwhelmed handling taxes, contracts, and sudden regulatory changes on my own. One quiet evening I reached out to a support network for independent owners and within days got clear guidance that saved hours of stress and a bit of money too. That practical help let me focus on serving customers instead of paperwork.
Since then I’ve seen how organizations that advocate for small businesses make a real difference, especially in regions like Lincolnshire where so many sole traders and teams keep things running. Being able to talk directly with local reps at events turns abstract support into something you can actually use right away.
