    Just had a guy book an appointment for next week to come in and have a chat with us about this …….. just wondered if anyone else has heard of them or uses them? Im assuming they are the same sort of thing as business link?

    looks like the same as our Chamber of Commerce here Carrie.

    Unless you employ a few people it works out pretty dear to be a member here, although we have other ‘chambers’ for other industries that are smaller.

    My sister is admin mgr for a company that employs 250 people, and the COC is great for them with wages and legal advice, but for me, it would be out of the question because I have no need to seek this sort of advice.

    I sometime think this is OK, if you have staff, but the best part to look into is Credit control, It is Law based,

    Guides on employment law, health and safety regulations and credit control for running a business.

    You may be doing most of this anyway, in your day today Bizz.
    Kind Regards Graham

    Looking at the website, I would say it’s an attempt to copy what the FSB already offers (and with more backing, now over 190,000 members).

    I would say that if you are a member of the FSB, probably not worth looking at this one!

    I’m with the FSB

    http://www.fsb.org.uk

    They can save you a fortune with a legal problem, tax investigation etc. I particularly like the FSB diamond deposit account with Close Brothers Bank which gives a good interest rate and saves me a fortune in currency change costs.

    As said above – no point in belonging to both.
