Benefits of being a member of the Florida Retail Federation

Our partner, the Florida Retail Federation (FRF) provides valuable, money-saving services and benefits that can reduce your day-to-day business expenses. Additionally, FRF aggressively lobbies and advocates for your rights as business owners to lower your cost of doing business. FRF offers true money saving membership tools and benefits including;

• Lower credit card and check processing fees


• Up to 66% discount on shipping costs with nationally recognized transportation companies, including FedEx.


• On staff Attorney who can provide individual members legal representation before state departments and agencies.

More Importantly, with your FRF membership, you'll gain the power of a large association advocating for your rights as a business owner. In fact, you can see the results every month on your financial statement. Here's some of the ways the Federation has already helped Florida business owners see bottom-line savings;

• Reduced Work Comp premiums by more than 60% since October 2003


• Reduce unemployment comp tax by $2 Billion in 2010


• Lowered Utility rates by $2 Billion - a reduction of more than 75%


• Avoided $100 Million in business litigation costs through tort reform legislation form 'Joint and Several' reform to 'Slip and Fall' reform.

When it comes to safety there's also strength in numbers - because RetailFirst is offering members of the FRF an exclusive workers' compensation safety program! Now, their policyholders have the opportunity to participate in a dividend plan designed to reward the employers who have made a commitment to safety and are dedicated to lowering their losses.

Through this safety group, you will be eligible to receive a bonus safety dividend based on group performance in addition to any individual dividend for which you may qualify. FRF offers tailored loss control services, including customized safety programs and online safety webinars to help you achieve long-term savings on your workers' compensation costs and to maximize your dividend potential.

FRF offers a guarantee on their membership costs. That means if your membership in the Federation does not save you at least the cost of your initial dues, then FRF will refund your dues.
