NatWest offer three levels of support for local business via their Enterprise Team, led by Local Enterprise Manager Debbie Lewis.

The NatWest Entrepreneur Accelerator programme supports start-up and scale-up businesses across the UK via 12  physical 'hubs' and an online events delivery schedule. (*Physical Hubs currently subject to Covid19-related closures)

Subject to successful application, cohorts are 6 months in length and can be enjoyed up to three times, totalling a maximum of 18months fully funded (free to you) support.

The programme includes 121 coaching, group mastermind sessions, peer support, access to mentors, co-shared workspace (when hubs reopen), events and a community of current and alumni entrepreneurs.

The Entrepreneur Accelerator programme has been rated number 1 accelerator in the UK by Beauhurst and fully endorsed by the Scale Up Institute, for “putting an increasing focus on scale-ups through its Entrepreneur Accelerator, providing flexible office space plus a wide-ranging package of support.” 

The Accelerator offers a range of programmes to support sector agnostic entrepreneurs at different stages of their journey where serious growth is desired; the current intake is accepting applications relating to:

*FinTech , *Purpose Led , *Sustainability & Climate Focussed and *High Growth

The Business Builder programme is a lighter touch offering, a self serve 24/7 portal where entrepreneurs can access resources, videos, toolkits and a community of likeminded individuals worldwide. There are virtual events and the content is ever-evolving, meaning that you never aim to 'complete' it, just access it for what you need, whenever you need it. https://natwestbusinessbuilder.com/?ref=MEE

Want even less commitment? Join one of our National events (digitally) such as #AnAudienceWith (inspirational success stories), Investment Readiness, Export or Marketing events with highly sought after speakers, or Local events hosted by regional experts who will share top tips, access to grant funding, support with growth or skill shares.

We also value our Alumni Network (supporting entrepreneurs who have graduated from the numerous programmes) and continue to provide support by way of a monthly opportunities newsletter, a series of free events accessed digitally and a facebook community to share challenges, wins and stay connected.

 

If you'd like any more information on any of the above offerings, or simply want to have a chat about the support that you require for you business please don't hesitate to get in touch.
