James Caan and Natwest offer free mentoring to entrepreneurs

Britain's leading bank for start-ups has joined forces with top entrepreneur James Caan to help more people set up successful businesses. As part of the bank's free online Business Knowledge Series, James Caan will be joined by Peter Ibbetson, NatWest small business chairman and Amanda Faulkner-Whalen, founder of successful start-up Fab 3D Ltd, to offer advice for start-ups in a live interactive event online. By registering for the event participants also stand a chance of winning a one-on-one mentoring session with James.

On 16th March 15:00 GMT, the expert panel will share their experiences in turning an idea into a successful enterprise, including how to market your business, manage cashflow and improve the chances of securing bank finance. Viewers will also get the opportunity to question the panel on the issues affecting them. After registering for the online event, one lucky participant will be randomly selected for a personal business mentoring session with James Caan at his Mayfair office in London.

James Caan, said: "There's no single guide that will tell you how to run a profitable business but people who seek advice early on will always stand a better chance of success. Hopefully by sharing my experiences at this event I can encourage more people to turn their idea into a successful enterprise." 

Peter Ibbetson, said: "Britain's recovery relies on successful new businesses entering the market so we're delighted James is joining us to help them make the first steps. We're helping nearly 2,000 businesses get off the ground every week - so there are clearly lots of opportunities out there."
