NZ Trade and Enterprise (NZTE) Support: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how New Zealand businesses can access market research and advice to help them successfully export goods to international markets.

This support program helps New Zealand businesses prepare to sell their goods in international markets.

Who it's for

This scheme is designed for any business that is looking to begin exporting goods. Whether you are a small operation or a larger entity, if your goal is to move your products beyond the local New Zealand market and into international trade, this support is intended for you.

What you get

The primary benefit of this support is gaining the knowledge required for successful market entry. You can access expert market research to understand international demand and export readiness advice to ensure your business processes are prepared for the complexities of global trade. This guidance is meant to help you navigate the steps required to move from local sales to international distribution.

What it costs you

While the scheme provides essential guidance, there is a commitment required from your side. You will need to dedicate significant time to participating in specialized workshops and engaging in detailed strategic planning. This time investment is necessary to ensure your business can successfully implement the advice you receive.

The catch to know

A common mistake many business owners make is thinking that this support is only available to massive corporations. In reality, the program is available to businesses looking to scale up and grow through exporting, so do not assume your business is too small to benefit.

  2. Identify the specific international markets where you believe your goods will be successful.
  3. Prepare to participate in strategic planning and workshops to develop your export strategy.
