In business for your business. Since 1971.

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) is the country’s small business champion. With over 100,000 members, we’re Canada’s largest non-profit organization devoted to creating and supporting an environment where independent businesses can flourish.   

We believe that when our entrepreneurs succeed, our country thrives. Every day, we amplify small business owners’ voices, ensuring they are heard in every major policy conversation from Ottawa to their provincial capital. As a non-partisan organization, we gather our members' views and advocate with politicians and decision-makers to shape laws and policies that support small businesses.  

Our commitment is to their day-to-day success. Our HRNow! team of experts is here to help them overcome daily business challenges, from human resources questions through our comprehensive templates to navigating government regulations. We work hard to provide valuable information and expert advice on key business issues. 

Running a business is costly, and that’s why we leverage the power of over 100,000 members to deliver substantial discounts on essential services. By harnessing the collective power of our membership, we negotiate better deals on critical business services, helping them save money and reinvest in their business.  

At CFIB, we’ll never stop working for our members. We are dedicated to increasing the odds of their business’s success and creating a stronger independent business community in Canada.

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.
