Which UK organization, founded in 1974, campaigns for the interests of small businesses?

The Federation of Small Businesses is the UK organization founded in 1974 to represent and campaign for small businesses.

It began as a membership organization for smaller firms and became a prominent voice in British debates about taxation, regulation, finance, employment, and entrepreneurship. Its members include sole traders, microbusinesses, and larger small firms.

The FSB is not a government department, a trade union, or the same body as the British Chambers of Commerce. It represents business owners and advocates policy changes, while chambers usually provide local business networks and services.

The organization also offers members practical support, including advice and networking. Its founding date is often confused with the histories of earlier small-business associations, but 1974 is the date associated with the FSB itself.
