Contact business.govt.nz if you have a business question or feedback about the website.
Business.govt.nz is here to make it easier and quicker for small businesses to understand and comply with government, get on with their businesses and succeed. We do this by packaging information and advice from across government into tools and resources, designed with small businesses in mind.
To make our resources as easy to understand as possible and to avoid overwhelming our audience, we aim to provide enough detail to help in the majority of situations, rather than comprehensive detail for all situations. For more detail we link to the relevant government agencies’ websites and sometimes private sector websites.
Please see our tools and website disclaimer for more information.
