Business support through the Regional Business Partner Network
The Regional Business Partner Network connects small to medium-sized businesses with advice, people, resources and capability support.
Funded by the New Zealand Government, the network is delivered through regional growth agencies across Aotearoa New Zealand. In the Wellington region, this support is delivered by WellingtonNZ’s business growth team.
For Kāpiti Coast businesses, the network can be a useful pathway for accessing specialist advice, identifying capability needs and connecting with support that can help your business make clearer decisions.
How the network can help
The Regional Business Partner Network is designed to support businesses that are looking to strengthen capability, respond to challenges or plan for growth.
Support may include help to understand what your business needs, connect with relevant expertise, and access tools or programmes that support capability development.
For some eligible businesses, support may include access to the Management Capability Development Fund. This fund can help businesses access training in approved subject areas, including topics such as business planning, finance, marketing, leadership, digital systems, sustainability and operations.
Eligibility, funding availability and approved subject areas are managed through Business.govt.nz, so it’s best to check the official information before applying.
Getting started
To access support through the Regional Business Partner Network, your business first needs to register with the network.
Once registered, you may be connected with a business growth advisor who can help understand where your business is at, what support may be useful, and what options are available.
This can be helpful if you’re working through a challenge, planning growth, developing systems, building capability or looking for the right advice but aren’t sure where to begin.
