HSBC Bank USA, N.A., (HSBC), part of HSBC Group, one of the

The inaugural installment of the series features Natassa
Contini, owner of Chateau le Woof. An avid dog owner, Contini saw
there was an opportunity to create a safe and inviting space for
people and their pups to enjoy a cup of coffee and a delicious
treat. Since its inception, and with help from HSBC, Natassa has
grown her business into a celebrated neighborhood hot spot.
“Each of our customers started their business with a dream — to
create change, fill a void in the market, provide for their
families or challenge themselves professionally. It’s our goal to
help them achieve their ambitions in a financially responsible
way,” says Shaun McDougall, Head of Retail Business Banking at
HSBC. “The Small Business Spotlight Series recognizes our customers
for their great contributions to the community and their tireless
efforts to achieve success.”
Like many successful businesses, the idea for Chateau Le Woof
started as a seed and grew quickly. “My problem was that I didn’t
have much financial support in the beginning except for my
savings,” said Contini. “When I eventually outgrew the original
Chateau le Woof and started looking at a larger space, a family
friend introduced me to a banker at HSBC to discuss potential
growth and learn about the Fusion platform.”
HSBC Fusion
The first of its kind for HSBC in the US, HSBC Fusion is
designed to facilitate account management for small and medium
sized business owners. Customers are assigned one point of contact
for both their business and personal banking needs, as well as the
ability to take advantage of a single internet banking platform
providing views of their business and personal relationship.
“Research suggests that small- and medium-sized business owners
put great value into the convenience of keeping personal and
business banking relationships within the same bank,” said Manuel
Baldasano, HSBC Global Head of Customer Channels and Retail
Business Banking. “As one of the key markets for the launch of HSBC
Fusion, we look forward to the opportunity to continue to support
some extraordinary business owners through this service. By
integrating business, personal and wealth on a single digital
platform, HSBC Fusion is our way of giving business banking
customers like Natassa more clarity into their finances, helping
them save time and get ahead with easy access to funding, advice
and opportunities.”
National Small Business Month
The campaign launch coincides with National Small Business
Month, which recognizes the critical contributions of America’s
entrepreneurs and small business owners.
According to the National Small Business Association, more than
half of Americans either own or work for a small business, and they
create about two out of every three new jobs in the U.S. each
year.
