Business plans

You can submit more than one business plan for different businesses over the rest of the five-year investment period, but each plan must meet the requirements in this section.  You will need to submit a new business plan if you want to significantly change the business you have had approved. 

 

We will approve your business plan if it:

 

  • is no more than three months old
  • shows you have enough money to finance the proposal (including the funds you are requesting to withdraw from those held by the Government and any other funds you have)
  • contains realistic financial forecasts
  • shows that you have relevant business experience
  • shows you have knowledge of the proposed business and the New Zealand business environment
  • includes information about how the proposed business will benefit New Zealand, and
  • includes supporting documentation.
