Whether you\u2019re just starting with a single product, trying new innovations or riding out the challenges of your industry, having the right support can go a long way. That\u2019s where business grants can come in useful, offering help to take your small business to the next level.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">With small businesses (20 employees or less) making up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mbie.govt.nz\/business-and-employment\/business\/support-for-business\/small-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">97% of New Zealand businesses<\/a>, it\u2019s important to keep them growing and thriving. We\u2019ve collected the grants available to businesses in New Zealand, so you can get an idea of what is on offer. Our selection includes stipends for business training, startup costs and research and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a business grant?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">A business grant is a sum of money that is given to your business with no expectations of repayment. Grants are generally organised through funds allocated by the Government or from companies and charities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">While a grant isn\u2019t expected to be repaid, often the money will come with some strings attached, such as rules around how it is spent and what it is spent on. You should be able to show results from the grant and use the money in a way that moves your business forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is eligible for business grants in New Zealand?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Anyone who runs a business in New Zealand may be eligible for a business grant. They may need to have their company listed on the <a href=\"https:\/\/companies-register.companiesoffice.govt.nz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New Zealand Companies <\/a>Register, and it can be helpful to have a defined plan for the future of the business, so that those allocating the grants can understand the way ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">From that point, the grants tend to apply to two distinct groups \u2013 entrepreneurs in the initial stages of establishing a company or business owners whose company is already up and running. The grants available to each group differ based on their requirements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much money can you get from small business grants?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">The amount of money you can receive varies. Some startup grants can cover expenses that reach five figures, while others cover small expenses, such as business training days. As mentioned, money from grants is given to be used purposefully, so it will only cover what your business needs and no more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Regional Business Partner Network&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">If you\u2019re looking for a business grant in New Zealand, you\u2019ll likely be directed to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.business.govt.nz\/strategy-and-performance\/regional-business-partner-network\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Regional Business Partner (RBP) Network<\/a> as the first port of call. While you can apply directly to many of the grants listed below, the network can link you up with the one that best suits your business.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">This network is funded by the New Zealand Government and is made up of 15 regional agencies throughout the country. Once you reach out, you\u2019ll be connected with local partners who can guide you through free support and advice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Current business grants&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Even if your business is going well, it\u2019s likely you\u2019ll find areas where you could improve, or where some support would go a long way. That\u2019s where the following grants could be useful in building your capabilities and growing for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Management Capability Funding by Regional Business Partner Network<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">If you\u2019re a business owner who would benefit from increasing your skill set, the Regional Business Partner Network can support you with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.business.govt.nz\/strategy-and-performance\/regional-business-partner-network\/management-capability-fund-for-businesses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">co-funded training<\/a>.

Their projects generally sit outside the main city hubs, to try to boost organisations throughout the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">The focus of K\u0101noa tends to vary but currently they\u2019re focused on infrastructure projects.

As well as registering with the Regional Business Partner Network, make sure you\u2019ve done the following steps for the best chance at success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip 1 &#8211; Understand exactly what you need<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">It\u2019s not enough to just want some extra cash in the bank account. What does your business truly need to flourish? This could be business skills training that you need to lift your game in the industry, such as in marketing, or it could be extra investment in new product development. If you\u2019re brand new with a business concept, you could have a look at startup business grants as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip 2 &#8211; Have a business plan&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">All government grants generally require you to have a business plan ready to show with each application. If you\u2019re new to business planning, we have a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/nz\/blog\/5-steps-to-refresh-your-business-plan\/\">guide here to get you started<\/a>. If you\u2019ve already got a plan, make sure it\u2019s up to date and fits with what you\u2019re applying for. Those assessing applications should be able to easily understand how the grant would fit with your aspirations for the future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip 3 &#8211; Make a strong business case<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">You need to prove to those assessing your application that the grant is truly needed. This is your chance to show your vision for the grant and how it will affect your business and your team for the future. Remember to keep the business case focused and effective. Your local Regional Business Partner should be able to help with the structure for this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Applying for a grant can seem intimidating, but you\u2019ve got a better chance if you apply than if you don\u2019t apply at all!
