FHI membership in brief:

- Use the model agreements and general terms and conditions
- Let us stand up for your interests
Which membership suits your organization?
Do you want to benefit from the network, knowledge, and member advantages of FHI? Then you can choose from three types of membership. Which form suits you best depends on the structure of your organization and which companies wish to become members.
1. Independent trade membership
Your company becomes an independent member of FHI and joins the sector that suits its activities. This is the usual choice for companies wishing to become members in their own name.
2. Membership of the parent company
The parent company becomes a member of FHI. The operating companies are not automatically members as a result. The parent company pays membership fees based on the highest employee scale within the group.
Are there multiple operating companies within the group? If so, they can also join separately, with a 50% discount on the regular membership fee.
3. Trade association membership for an operating company
Is the parent company already a member of FHI? Then a subsidiary or operating company can also independently join the sector that suits its activities. The operating company receives a 50% discount on the regular membership fee, calculated based on its own number of employees.
The discount applies as long as both the parent company and the operating company are members of FHI and the mutual group relationship exists.
Good to know
Every company wishing to become a member takes out its own membership. Only companies that are members themselves can make use of the associated member services, member benefits, and member rates. Through the group scheme, operating companies can become members with a 50% discount on the regular membership fee.
