NZTE Export Support: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how New Zealand businesses can access market research and advisory services to help grow their international sales.

This program provides resources and guidance to help businesses expand their reach into international markets.

Who it's for

This support is specifically designed for businesses that demonstrate significant export potential. If your business model or product has the capacity to be sold to customers in other countries, you may be eligible to access these resources. This is intended to help local companies move beyond domestic sales and compete on a global scale.

What you get

The program offers a variety of tools to help you navigate the complexities of international trade. You can access market research to help you understand consumer behavior in different regions, as well as networking opportunities to connect with potential international partners. Additionally, you can receive advisory services that provide expert guidance on the logistics and strategies required to successfully enter and grow in new global markets.

What it costs you

The cost of accessing these services depends on the level of support you require. Initial consultations to discuss your business and its potential are free of charge. However, you should be aware that as you move into more structured or specialized programs, some of these services may involve specific costs.

The catch to know

The most common mistake businesses make is thinking they are too small to qualify for NZTE resources. Many entrepreneurs assume these services are only for large, established corporations, but the support is available to any business that shows the potential to grow through international trade.

How to apply

  1. Visit the official portal to browse the different types of support available.
  2. Evaluate your business's current export potential and your specific goals for international growth.
  3. Reach out to the agency to request an initial consultation.
  4. Work with an advisor to determine which specific research or advisory programs fit your needs.
