Dragon backs new business guide

Entrepreneur James Caan is supporting a new initiative by Lloyds TSB to help small companies take advantage of improving economic conditions.

Preparing for the Upturn, a 25-page guide written and produced by Citypress, provides advice on a range of business topics including targeting exports, improving a company's green credentials and accessing finance through the Capital for Enterprise Fund. It can be downloaded at www.lloydstsb.com/businesssupport.

The guide is part of a wider customer support initiative by Lloyds TSB Commercial which includes a series of customer events across England and Wales that will provide companies with expert business advice. Citypress is launching the guide and promoting the events with a PR campaign which kicked off earlier this month.
