Free business help and advice

The freedom of running your own business and being your own boss appeals to a large number of New Zealanders. The Government has recognised this and developed a small business portal, with loads of useful articles and online tools, to make it easier for you to start-up, manage and grow your small business.

The Business.govt.nz website is almost a one-stop-shop for all your business queries and needs. It has information to help you choose the right business structure, understand your key compliance obligations, guidelines on where to find sources of finance, templates to help you develop your business plan, and tips to take your business to the next level. Subscribing to the monthly Business Insider newsletter helps you keep up to date with compliance issues and topical concerns.

Whether you’re starting up, managing, or even looking to exit your business, Business.govt.nz has expert, best-practice advice to help you, from online lessons and calculators, to useful templates and business health checks. And if you can’t find the information online, you can always call the business hotline, 0800 42 49 46, or use social media channels to get your business answer.
