New GFSB Membership Platform & Fee Structure
The Gibraltar Federation of Small Businesses (GFSB) is excited to announce the launch of a new membership platform, ‘Glue Up’, set to go live in September 2024. This platform is designed to enhance the membership experience by offering a comprehensive suite of tools and resources, all accessible through our existing website.
With Glue Up, members will be able to manage their membership details easily and efficiently. The platform will host a variety of members-only resources, simplifying the way you access valuable information and tools. Registration for events will now take place directly through the platform, streamlining the process and making it easier than ever to stay informed and engaged. Additionally, Glue Up will offer community spaces where members can connect and collaborate on various topics, fostering a stronger, more interactive GFSB community.
Once the platform is live, members will receive an email with detailed instructions on how to access it. We encourage every employee within your business to log in and explore what the platform has to offer.
In conjunction with the launch of Glue Up, we would also like to inform you of upcoming changes to our membership fees, which will take effect from 1st September 2024. The new membership tiers and prices are as follows:
• Sole Trader: £6.25 a month (billed annually at £75)
• 2 to 4 employees: £7.50 a month (billed annually at £90)
• 5-10 employees: £10.42 a month (billed annually at £125)
• 11-20 employees: £16.25 a month (billed annually at £195)
• 21-50 employees: £20.83 a month (billed annually at £250)
• 51+ employees: £29.17 a month (billed annually at £350)
• Aged 21 and under: £2.50 a month (billed annually at £30)
These updated tiers are different from our previous structure, and all existing members have been placed into the appropriate tier based on the size of their business. If you believe your business has been incorrectly categorized, please reach out to us at gfsb@gfsb.gi or admin@gfsb.gi, and we will ensure any necessary adjustments are made.
Our goal with these changes is to better support local businesses, helping them to start, grow, and thrive in Gibraltar’s vibrant economy. We look forward to continuing to provide you with valuable resources and opportunities through the new Glue Up platform and our updated membership structure.

This entrepreneurial approach has been instrumental in the growth of many of Gibraltar's successful businesses.
