Starting up the start-ups

Whether your start-up is a community cafe or a music venue, Santander has developed Business Guides that are sector-specific and cover over 200 types of businesses. They provide comprehensive guidance on how to start up a business from preparing a business plan to calculating costs for starting up in your chosen field.

The guides take you through what the sources of income and expenditure might be for your particular type of business. They highlight other practical things for you to consider, like how big your range of products and services need to be, who your customers should be, and how frequently you'll need to review your prices.

Dedicated team

Santander is keen to understand your enterprise, your business needs, goals and objectives in order to fully support your success and growth. By providing accessible support through a team of expert Local Business Managers, Santander is set up to meet the needs of start-up businesses.

Our Business Managers are active in the local community and will take the time to get to know you and your business, offering a tailored service to suit your individual needs.
