They launched the deal at the NatWest Branch in Penn Road, Beaconsfield last week and are pictured here viewing the online and printed material available to boost business newcomers. The package, which includes a company health check, is designed to be a one-stop shop to save owner-managers time hunting for information and advice to kick-start their businesses.

Mike Phillipps, a Director of TVBA draws on extensive corporate expertise in marketing as well as the personal experience of setting up a small business.

"We know the pitfalls and offer practical guidance and tips backed up by the solid financial advice and help offered by the bank," he said Details of the scheme are available from NatWest branches and the Thames Valley Business Advisors network at www.tvba.co.uk
