RBS Natwest Bank Franchise Finance Information Business Opportunity

In 1981, NatWest was the first UK bank to recognise the potential of franchising by establishing a dedicated team for the sector and remains the clear market leader in the provision of banking services to both franchisors and franchisees.

Each year NatWest facilitates the lending of many millions of pounds to help people start their own franchised businesses through a network of specialist Franchise Managers. These Managers are based at local branches and business centres. They have been trained in franchising matters and are kept abreast of industry trends and changes.

For individuals considering buying a franchise or businesses considering expansion through franchising there is the Guide to Franchising, which includes some useful guidance and a brief summary of the services you would expect to receive.

Starting out in business can be a tough time. So to help you get up and running, we have a full range of benefits to get you started.

When you become a new business customer, we'll give you 2 years free banking, if you have been in business for less than 12 months. We also give you the following:

  • A named, dedicated local Business Manager with a wealth of knowledge and experience to provide help and guidance for your business.
  • Access to one of the largest branch networks in the country.
  • Option to do your banking online, over the telephone or through our mobile banking service. All backed up by UK call centres manned 24/7
  • Huge variety of products from savings, to loans, insurance and more
  • Access to our added value business partners including Streamline, Mentor and Lombard who can provide services to support, protect and grow your business
  • Start up pack providing powerful business planning software and useful business guides

Free banking means no account charges for payments into and out of and running your account (provided your account is run in credit and you do not pay out more than £1 million during a 12 month period). Free banking and opening an account is subject to status. Applies to new businesses that started trading within the past 12 months.

We would also be delighted to speak to businesses thinking of franchising, franchisors and franchisees.
