We provide advice and support to help New Zealand businesses get started, grow, innovate and raise their capability. We also work with other agencies to design and deliver services to businesses in better and smarter ways.
The Government’s website for small businesses. Business.govt.nz makes business easier by packaging advice from across government and the private sector into tools and resources designed to meet the needs of small businesses.
We provide advice and support to businesses to help them grow, be more innovative, raise their capability and do business more easily.
Making it easier to do business with Government, Business Connect is a new digital service platform that will allow businesses to apply for things like licences and permits from different government agencies in one place.
Better for Business is a cross-agency programme developed to champion New Zealand businesses. We do this by identifying and developing easier and smarter ways for business and government to interact.
Digital Boost training videos support small businesses to learn and adopt digital ways of working. There are a range of videos, from industry specific to real world stories from small businesses across Aotearoa, sharing their digital experience.
These videos are available on the business.govt.nz website and YouTube channel.
E-Invoicing is the exchange of invoices directly between suppliers’ and buyers’ financial systems, even if these systems are different. It improves accuracy and security, reduces process time and speeds up payments.
GoBusiness and GoManufacturing make it easier for small businesses and the manufacturing sector in New Zealand to access the tools, advice, and resources they need to grow, export, and reach their full potential. By packaging content from across government and the private sector, these websites provide simple, clear, and practical information designed with small businesses and manufacturers in mind.
We administer the New Zealand Business Number which is a free, globally unique identifier that makes it faster and easier for businesses to connect and interact.
