NAS Membership Types and Fees
The National Association of Shopfitters offers four types of memberships. Companies operating in the shopfitting/fit-out industry join us as Full Members or New Enterprises, if they have been operating for less than two years. Associate Members provide the industry with auxiliary services and enjoy access to our full memberhsip base. The Approved Training Providers (ATP) offer wide array of courses relevant to the sector.
Full Members are shopfitting, fit-out or interior contractors. We are proud to have represented their collective voice for over 100 years.
Annual subscription starts from £950, at circa £79 per month (at 0% interest payments), depending on company turnover.
Associate Members are the sector’s supply chain – they provide products and services that are relevant to our Full Members and the NAS.
Annual subscription starts from £650, or circa £54 per month (at 0% interest payments), depending on company turnover.
New Enterprise Membership is for shopfitting, fit-out or interior contractors who have been trading for less than two years. All other vetting criteria apply and applications are accepted on a case-by-case basis. New Enterprise members are given a variation of the NAS’ collective mark logo.
