COVID and the impact on Small Business, what support is available?

Join Xero, Minister Stuart Nash, Kiwibank and The Golden Ticket to learn about what support is available for NZ SME’s in today’s COVID world.

What's it all about?

New Zealand is made up of over 90% SME’s. Some of the challenges they face include: identifying the best route to market, understanding the regulation landscape and what support is available from industry and government, and how to scale and launch into new markets.

What does that landscape look like now, post-COVID lockdown? Is it still possible to launch a product into a new market? Who is still open for business to help with capital raising? What partners can help SMEs enter foreign markets?

Hear from Minister Nash, Craig Hudson from XERO, Catherine Emerson from Kernel Wealth (the first recipient of the Golden Ticket programme) and from the brainchild behind the Golden Ticket porgramme - Tim Packer from YouDo.
