The Taking Care of Business roadshow returns this year to provide more guidance and assistance to small business owners across New Zealand. This roadshow gives businesses a better idea of the government services and support available to them – whether it involves tax, exporting, ACC, business statistics, intellectual property, or trade and innovation. Following the presentations, attendees have the opportunity to speak directly to government agency representatives.

This year’s roadshows will include testimonials from local business owners on the value of using the Regional Business Partner Network, advice on matters such as health and safety regulations, funding opportunities and the effect of new legislation on compliance rules.

To register for a roadshow event, please visit the Taking Care of Business Roadshow page on business.govt.nz.
