CFIB is “THE voice for independent business”, and has been for 36 years. With over 100,000 members in every sector across Canada, CFIB takes its direction from members, through regular surveys. We lobby for small and medium-sized businesses at the federal, provincial and local levels of government.

Who is CFIB?
We represent independent businesses in all regions of Canada. Our members include the full range of enterprise in Canada, from one-person home-based businesses to firms employing hundreds of people. CFIB is the largest organization of its kind in Canada and, on average, has more members in any given industry than most sector organizations.

CFIB is recognized around the world for the quality of our research and economic analysis. Our solid reputation for accuracy and insight means we are taken very seriously.

What does CFIB stand for?
The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) was formed in 1971 as an advocacy organization for small- and medium-sized enterprises. We are determined to strengthen the democratic system, promote free enterprise, and prevent abuse of power by government agencies, public service monopolies, corporate giants and trade unions. Our actions in the areas of tax, labour laws and public sector spending have brought real dollars-and-cents benefits to our members, helping them prosper.

We have achieved huge victories, resulting in changes that affect every firm in the country. But, no problem is too small. Everyday our counsellors help individual members by providing direction and support in dealing with bureaucrats, government agencies and general business issues. If you have a problem, we can point you in the right direction.

Our members also benefit from strong partnerships with major organizations in areas including telecom services, financial services, business or education services and other individual services.
