NatWest Accelerator is a UK-wide community of founders, partners and business support organisations, creating opportunities from small businesses to connect, learn and grow together. Combining a digital platform with a growing network of Accelerator hubs across the UK, Accelerator provides practical support, expert guidance and valuable connections to help businesses unlock their potential.
Whether you’re just starting out, looking to scale, or navigating the next stage of your business journey, NatWest Accelerator will help you move forward with confidence.
The Accelerator App brings this together in one place alongside an expanding network of physical hubs, helping business owners access support, learn new skills, connect with others and discover opportunities wherever they are. This focus on community enables founders to learn from one another, share experiences and celebrate successes along the way. Alongside this peer network, Accelerator coaches and partners provide practical guidance on topics including leadership, access to finance, productivity, growth and innovation.
NatWest is committed to helping more entrepreneurs access the support they need to succeed. Accelerator aims for at least 50% of businesses supported to be women-led and 20% to be led by founders from ethnic minority backgrounds, helping create a more inclusive and representative business community.
Through partnerships with universities and regional growth organisations, NatWest continues to expand the Accelerator network to help more founders access the tools, networks and expertise they need to build successful, sustainable businesses across the UK.
