The Singapore Business Federation is the apex business chamber that champions the interests of the Singapore business community in trade, investment and industrial relations. It represents more than 15,000 companies as well as the local and foreign business chambers and key national and industry associations from business sectors that contribute significantly to the Singapore economy.

Nationally, SBF acts as the bridge between the government and businesses in Singapore to create and enhance a pro-business environment.Internationally, SBF represents the business community in bilateral, regional and multilateral fora for the purpose of promoting trade expansion and business networking.

The SBF was formed on 1 April 2002 by the SBF Act which was passed by Parliament requiring all Singapore-registered companies with a paid-up capital of S$0.5 million and above to become members of the SBF.

Its formation was to realise a more comprehensive organisation and representation of the Singapore business community's interests at home and abroad.

As the apex business chamber and leading voice of the business community in Singapore, SBF:

• strengthens Singapore's tripartite relationship of business working in concert with government and employees' unions
• facilitates better co-ordination between public agencies and the business community
• engages the Singapore and foreign governments on business policy issues
• partners businesses to enhance competitiveness through capacity building
• helps its members to network and organize exchanges to cultivate contacts and tap into business opportunities worldwide
