We're very pleased to see the Commercial Payments Bill successfully made it through the House of Lords this week - a huge step towards stamping out late payments for good after more than 20 years of FSB campaigning.
⏰ Late payments cost small firms £11 billion every year, but they aren't just bad for small businesses and the self employed; they're bad for growth, local communities, employees, and the economy as a whole.
✅ The Bill will now move to the House of Commons for the next stage of Parliamentary scrutiny.

Federation of Small Businesses - FSB Scotland says the council should not move forward with the proposed tourism tax until challenges seen in other parts of Scotland are fully understood and addressed.
The warning comes as part of FSB's response to the council’s early engagement on a potential levy.

🌩️ Heatwaves can actually increase flood risk.
After long dry spells, heavy rain is more likely to run off the surface, increasing the chance of flooding.
Could your business recover if it couldn't trade for a week?
