Singapore Business Federation (Abbreviation: SBF; ; ;) is the apex business chamber in Singapore.[1] [2] [3] SBF aims to improve the organisation of the business community in Singapore[4] and represent it both locally and abroad.[5] [6] [7] [8]

SBF was formed on 1 April 2002[9] as the successor to the Singapore Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry, which had consisted of five business chambers and associations in Singapore.[10] SBF has compulsory membership,[11] unlike its predecessor which had struggled financially as a result of voluntary membership. As of December 2020, SBF has 27,200 members,[12] including both companies and business chambers. SBF carries out events such as talks and dialogue sessions for its members, and provides them with various business networks.[13]
