Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment launches new business resources

MBIE stated that they have been listening to small businesses that have shared they wanted business information and support that was clear, simple, and actionable. Business feedback was that resources needed to be tailored for businesses ready to grow beyond the start-up phase and support to assist them to take the next step toward exporting and industry innovation.

MBIE have developed two resources – GoBusiness and GoManufacturing as a response to these business needs. MBEI are providing these as digital platforms that are dedicated and developed to helping businesses unlock their full potential.

You can view these free resources on business.govt.nz.
