WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

How it Works

This initiative is all about helping SME businesses grow their capability. The NZ government has launched the Management Capability Development Fund to enable businesses to access expert training and support. This will help them fill the gaps within their business that stop them from currently growing.

As a registered service provider under the Regional Business Partner Network, we can help provide you with the expert marketing advice and training you need to get your business to the next level. Under this programme, you have the opportunity to apply for government funding of up to $5000+GST to help with the cost of your marketing support.

Note: You will need your NZBN and GST number on hand
2. You'll be contacted by a Growth Advisor to discuss your needs with a discovery session. This will help determine what your business is eligible for and you'll get allocated the necessary funding
3. You can then choose your preferred registered service provider and start getting the ball rolling
4. The service provider will receive the funds from the Regional Business Partners Funding scheme

1. Register your business
