Business Strategy and Growth

Looking to start, grow or develop your business?

As a local Regional Business Partner we are able to help you accelerate your business towards the best it can be. Either through knowledge, connections, or subsided training opportunity and funding.

As part of the wider regional business Partners Network (part of 14 other growth agencies) we can provide you with the support you need.

Our advisors are here for you and can meet you for a free business assessment which will look at your business, identify the next steps and come up with an action plan to grow your business, because every business should have the best chance of being the best it can be.

Business Advocacy

We are proud to be the voice of over 1,300 businesses in the south and to represent business interests in government, locally and nationally.

We are here for businesses to share your insights (what keeps you awake at night) so we can advocate for you to minimise barriers, ideally before they arise.  

By activating your voice Business South advocates your business issues with decision-makers in local and central government.  

Large Business

Large corporations are major employers and contribute significantly to local and national economies. They thrive through investing in people, innovation, assets and growth opportunities.

Small Business

Small businesses are creative, innovative and dynamic, and are key drivers of economic growth. In fact, small enterprise is often referred to as the ‘engine room of growth’.

Did you know…

Small enterprises represent over 97% of New Zealand firms, and more than half of all Business South members.
