“The directors have reviewed and considered relevant information, including the annual budget and forecast income and expenditure and cash flows for the group until September 2027... Based on these assessments, given the measures that could be undertaken to mitigate the current adverse conditions, and the current resources available, the directors have concluded that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.”

Significant events
- “Work was undertaken in 2024-25 to restructure some parts of the business, to take effect from October 2025, to make certain that FSB has the right people in the right jobs doing the right things, to successfully implement FSB's business plan.”
- “Successful campaigning ahead of both the Autumn Budget 2024 and Spring Statement 2025, and beyond, resulted in multiple wins for members.”
- “Other wins included a continued freeze in fuel duty, an expansion of start-up loans, and the protection of Business Asset Disposal Relief (formerly Entrepreneurs' Relief) so that the sale of the first £1 million of business assets attracts a lower rate of Capital Gains Tax.”
- “The Government launched its small business plan in summer 2025, rolling together a number of measures which FSB had campaigned for.”
- “In February 2025, a new Fair Payment Code was launched by the Small Business Commissioner - the first of the package of new measures to curb poor and late payment practices to small businesses.”
- “The Government unveiled plans for 28 new items of extra employment legislation in its Employment Rights Bill in October 2024. FSB made its members' voices heard loudly about some concerning aspects of the proposals.”
- “Our commercial arm successfully secured sponsorship partnerships with HSBC UK, Microsoft, EDF Energy, Zurich, GoCardless and the JP Morgan Chase Foundation. These collaborations generated additional revenue, enabling us to enhance support for our members.”
