Your Council

Innovation on purpose

We offer an hour free business planning consultation for your business or ‘big idea’. 

Honest advice has meant one of our start-ups received a $60,000 grant from TechNZ, others have gone back to the drawing board – but either way you can learn from those who have been there and  done that.  We want to help.
