Business Builder from NatWest is a free, self-service online tool that can be accessed 24/7 via a dedicated online portal. It is designed to support entrepreneurs and business owners to upskill and develop their business at a pace and time that suits them.

Business Builder supports businesses and entrepreneurs at all stages, from new startups to established businesses looking to make a change. It is completely free, and you don’t have to be a NatWest customer to sign up.

Business Builder can help with:

• Idea validation – explore and validate new business ideas, or pivot an existing business.
• Business essentials – the knowledge, tools and techniques needed to put business processes in place.
• Entrepreneur development – support for users to develop themselves at the same time as their business.
• Growth strategies – put sustainable growth plans in place, and identify risks and opportunities.
