❓Membership FAQs

Quick answers to common questions to get you started...

 

Can I have more than one membership? Absolutely. You can hold multiple memberships if your business would benefit from different areas of support, like HR guidance and export assistance. Each membership comes with its own benefits, so you get the value from both.
Do I have to be a Canterbury business? Membership is primarily for businesses based in Canterbury and the West Coast. Some national businesses can join too, if they have a local presence or strategic interest in the region. Please contact us to discuss more.
How do add-on memberships for HR or Global Trade work? Our service memberships are focused add-ons that give you extra support where you need it. For example, the HR Advice membership can be added to your existing membership to provide expert guidance and legislative updates, while the Global Trade membership offers insights, tools, and networking for exporters. You can purchase more than one membership when you join, or add them later as your needs change.
