Entrepreneurs tested their luck last week during the HP (NYSE:HPQ) sponsored “Small Business Week” on the all-new, nationally syndicated version of “Deal or No Deal,” and a fortunate few won special HP packages tailored specifically to their needs.

The Small Business Week episodes aired Sept. 29 to Oct. 3 on local broadcast stations across the United States.

“HP is thrilled to support small businesses and to offer the winning players solutions that help them manage, protect and grow their businesses,” said John Dayan, vice president, Worldwide Marketing Operations, Personal Systems Group, HP. “Allowing small business owners to focus on their craft while we take care of technology is our priority, and this sponsorship is another example of our commitment to this indispensable market.”

HP provided the winning entrepreneurs with a customized mix of desktop and notebook computers plus printers and an HP Total Care package. HP Total Care ensures small businesses receive comprehensive support, software and services to help them get the most value out of their technology for the life of their business. With HP Total Care, HP and its partner network provide personalized resources and expertise before, during and after purchase – so small businesses can more seamlessly choose, use, protect and transition their technology in step with the demands of their business.

HP also will provide full installation and training at each of the winner’s business locations, along with extended support warranties and other services, allowing the winners to enjoy the results of a faster, more efficiently run business with the peace of mind of HP computing solutions plus HP Total Care.

“Having these small business owners on the show and giving them a chance to win a life-changing amount of money and useful prizes made this a very special week,” said Scott St. John, “Deal or No Deal” executive producer. “These resources will help the winners take luck into their own hands and offer them the tools needed to continue a successful business.”
