NatWest and Business Growth Hub have announced drop-in support sessions for entrepreneurs in Bolton.

These sessions are designed to provide one-to-one advice from EnterprisingYou’s specialist business advisors.

The initiative is open to all local business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs, regardless of whether they are NatWest customers.

The drop-in sessions will be held at the NatWest branch on Deansgate, Bolton, every third Friday of the month.

No bookings are needed to attend.

Craig Wood, local director for North Manchester and Lancashire, retail banking, NatWest, said: "Small businesses are at the heart of Greater Manchester’s economy, and we recognise the important role they play in communities across the region.

"We also know that by working with GM Business Growth Hub across our branch network, we are better placed to support new businesses to scale and grow."

EnterprisingYou is GM Business Growth Hub’s tailored support for those ready to start a business or established self-employed individuals, freelancers, and gig economy workers in Greater Manchester.

Yvonne Sampson, head of enterprise at GM Business Growth Hub, said: "Working with NatWest to deliver expert business support in branch just makes sense.

"GM Business Growth Hub has been supporting the community of Bolton for over a decade, offering a range of advice and support to individuals and businesses, and this partnership is a great next step.
