Guides to starting a business
Three guides have been put together by NZTE to give you the information you need to develop a business plan, decide whether your idea is commercially viable and take the first practical steps to getting your business set up.
Get help from the biz service (biz)
The biz service has been specifically designed to assist small and medium sized businesses.
The biz service can assist you to find information about organisations, training and resources to help start, manage or grow your business. It also provides contacts, referrals and information about government and non-government services and programmes to build business capability.
You can talk to a biz advisor by calling 0800 42 49 46 or visit

Join a business incubator
Your business may benefit from joining an incubator. Incubators help businesses to become established and sustainable during their start-up phase. Typically they do this by providing shared premises, business advice and management oversight.
E-business Guide: take your business online
The internet provides a powerful medium for attracting new customers and expanding your business operations. NZTE has resources available to help you develop this side of your business.
