NatWest are proud partners of FBUK, as we know Family businesses are a cornerstone of the UK business community, responsible for a significant proportion of private sector employment.

86% of private sector businesses are family businesses, forming a large portion of NatWest’s customers. Family businesses also employ 40% of all employees in the UK economy, contributing to 29% of the UKs Gross Domestic Product. *Source measured by MarketVueBusiness Banking from Savanta Q4 2022.

You need a bank that understands your dynamics as a family business, and one that is committed to supporting you at every stage of your journey.

Whatever the challenge, be that succession planning, maintaining sustainable growth, governance, expanding into new markets or one of the many other challenges that a family business might face, our team of Relationship mangers are here to support you.

Plus we provide family businesses with actionable insights and thought leadership through a range of in house Subject Matter Experts.
