HSBC Commercial Banking has joined forces with Mr Site, the UK’s website creation tool, to offer its small and micro business banking customers the facilities to develop an online presence.

According to a recent research, 60% of small businesses do not sell their goods and services online which means they are losing out on millions of pounds in lost revenue. In order to help new and existing micro and small business customers in the UK establish their online presence, HSBC Commercial Banking and Mr Site have come up with an offer on its Takeaway Website Pro.

Takeaway Website Pro provides users with everything they need to build a professional dot com website and get it online. Huw Morgan, Head of small business banking at HSBC, said: “Our research shows that our customers are looking for advice and assistance in setting up the online side of their businesses, and through this offer from Mr Site we are able to provide them with access to market. It is important that SMEs take the time to develop an online presence as it can have a significant impact on their business.

Bea Hatherley, Founder of Mr Site said: “We had discussions with several other leading banks in the UK but ultimately felt that HSBC, like ourselves, had the greatest hunger to assist small business enterprises. Having dealt with HSBC on both a personal and corporate level, we have full confidence in its small business specialists and their true entrepreneurial spirit.
