NatWest Accelerator is now OPEN for applications for the September cohort

Enterprise is an area that clearly defines NatWest. As the UK’s biggest bank for business, we understand that SMEs are the lifeblood of the economy and that we have a responsibility to help them build back better.

At the heart of our support for business owners is our comprehensive Accelerator programme including coaching, insight and mentoring specifically designed to meet the needs of entrepreneurs who want to grow their business, regardless of geographic location or sector.

We provide successful applicants with wrap-around care, thought leadership, connectivity and access to our shared workspace (in 14 UK locations or an entirely digital journey); all crucial for their success and a strong national economy.

We know that every business owner is different and that the motivations for scaling a business can vary greatly. We also recognise the power of being surrounded by a network of likeminded individuals and specialists. Developed over the past seven years, these programmes have revolutionised the way we support entrepreneurs, and has proven to really work.

 
Timeline:

The programme starts with an IGNITION event w/c September 11th 2023 and extends over six months with fortnightly events, opportunities and monthly 121, peer to peer and group coaching sessions.

There is an option to reapply for up to 18 months of support in total, with the first six months open to non-banked customers.

Applications for this intake will close August 18th, interviews will take place throughout the entire application window. Places are limited.

We understand that prospective applicants may have questions, want to better understand what’s on offer and meet the team, so we have created some virtual Application Discovery Events that can be found here. Plus you can request a 121 call with your local enterprise manager Ricke Williams by emailing ricke.williams@natwest.com or pop along to our Petty Cury Enterprise Space and meet events manager Andy Bishop; both of whom will be happy to help.
