The Black Country Branch, which covers the 4 metropolitan boroughs of Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton and also the district council of South Staffordshire, has over 2,500 members.
 
The branch is run by volunteer members, who organise regular meetings for the branch, covering a wide range of business areas from advertising on the radio to the implications for small business of the new money laundering act. The branch also produces a regular newsletter to keep members informed of local small business issues.
 
Members of the branch committee represent the FSB on several external groups such as Local Strategic Partnerships (LSPs) and Crime & Disorder Reduction Partnerships (CDRPs) and assist with local Government consultations.
 
The branch can also call on the services of the Staffordshire and West Midlands Regional Organiser – a professional member of staff who acts as a point of contact for the media, external organisations and FSB members.
