Extra help for Canterbury SMEs

The Minister for Economic Development, Gerry Brownlee, has announced an additional economic support package for small to medium enterprises in the Canterbury region.

“There are more than 300 experienced volunteer business mentors standing by throughout the Canterbury region to provide guidance to small-to-medium businesspeople as they get back on their feet after the quake,” Brownlee explained.

“Business Mentors New Zealand has waived the $100 (plus GST) registration fee for mentoring, so if you’re struggling to get momentum in the wake of the earthquake I encourage you to pick up the phone and seek help.”
