ABOUT GFSB
Founded in 1997, the Gibraltar Federation of Small Businesses’s mission is simple: to help you start, grow and thrive in business. We believe that small businesses have the power to drive economic progress and that knowledge is better when it is shared. As a non-profit organisation, we stand as the voice of Gibraltar’s private sector and lobby the government on policies that make Gibraltar a better place to do business. Led by an unremunerated, elected Board of Directors, we represent a cross-section of local industries and stay accountable to our members. Through our regular networking events, training workshops and Thrive magazine, we encourage the exchange of knowledge giving you the expertise that helps you develop.
Together we can build a brighter, better environment for local businesses.

The Circle of Power: How to Find the Right Advisors
Starting and running a small business is rewarding but comes with its fair share of challenges. The path of entrepreneurship is often characterised by immense dedication, long hours, and tough decisions. As a small business owner, you’re not just responsible for the operations and growth of your company and team, but also for your own wellbeing.
The GFSB networking events are of tremendous value to our business development strategy, having opened doors and provided very interesting leads from local companies, who have in turn shown a strong demand for our services. They have helped us both grow and further promote our local business and services to a wider corporate audience.
