Case studies

  • Networking opportunities for customers

    Barclays Latitude Club offers entrepreneurs a chance to network with Barclays Commercial Bank customers all over the world.

    Through Barclays international networks, business connections and market expertise, customers from small to medium-sized enterprises are offered facilities which could help their business grow.

    Members can gain introductions to customers with whom they could develop mutually beneficial business relationships, and meet in members-only club rooms around the globe in cities from New Delhi to Paris.

    A dedicated website, exclusive deals from business suppliers and invitations to seminars are also available.

  • Free credit checks online

    Barclays CreditFocus allows business owners to carry out online credit checks on up to five customers or suppliers.

    The service also helps users know how safe it is to do businesses with new and existing customers, offers alerts on the credit health of selected businesses and helps users chase unpaid debts.

    From 2008, the CreditFocus service was made available free of charge to all UK small businesses, whether they are Barclays customers or not.

  • Securing clean energy

    In 2008, Barclays Capital played a critical role in a major acquisition in the UK energy market – the acquisition of British Energy by EDF.

    Due to its excellent relationships with the businesses involved and its market-leading position in structured commodity-linked note issuances, Barclays Capital was chosen to structure the £12.5bn deal.
