Regional Business Partner Network

Resources and Support to Help Your Business Grow

Business Canterbury is proud to be your local Regional Business Partner within the national Regional Business Partner network. The Regional Business Partner Network provides an invaluable resource for New Zealand businesses through information and support to help you achieve your business goals.

Our Regional Business Partner Growth Advisors can meet with you for a free business assessment to take a birds-eye look at your whole business, then identify the next steps in your business and provide you with an action plan and connections to experts and resources to set you in the right direction.

Management Capability Fund

Small businesses could be eligible for funding to cover costs of services such as training workshops, professional courses, and coaching designed to strengthen the management skills of owners and key managers.

The Management Capability Development Fund is accessed through Regional Business Partner (RBP) Growth Advisors and can be applied to services provided by RBP-registered providers.

Funding is considered when a Growth Advisor identifies a need for management development as part of a tailored action plan to help the business grow and innovate. Once approved, business owners can choose a service from an approved provider that best fits their development goals.
