In business for your business. Since 1971.

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) is the country’s champion of small business. With over 95,000 members, we’re Canada’s largest non-profit organization devoted to creating and supporting an environment where your business can succeed.

Across Canada, we advocate for small business with politicians and decision-makers. As a non-partisan organization, we influence public policy based on our members’ views, ensuring that you have a chance to affect the laws and policies that affect your business.

We provide specialized business resources, including on-call advisors, to help you navigate the daily challenges of running your business. We also offer partnerships with carefully selected service providers to deliver savings you won’t find elsewhere. And we keep you informed on key issues, so that you can focus on managing your business.

What CFIB Members are Saying

I highly recommend supporting CFIB if you are a business owner. They are there when the government is making decisions without actually consulting business and industry. They aid in reducing taxes or keeping them where they are. As a business owner it is hard to find support and CFIB is always there for you.

Getting timely, expert advice from their counsellors saved me hundreds in lawyer fees. We have received help on starting a Health and Safety policy for my organization and was given clear steps on how to proceed, saving me time and frustration. Access to Webinars, current information on issues, and regular surveys and petitions allow my voice to be heard in driving policy change.
