Services for Investors

Your single contact point for investment

Investment New Zealand provides a single contact point for international investors in New Zealand.  We facilitate vital communication between investors and their prospective New Zealand partners and government agencies. We can help potential investors identify sustainable business prospects and develop tailored investment solutions, and we help investors efficiently manage regulatory requirements.

Our investment specialists can identify any financial assistance available for feasibility studies or pre-investment site visits to New Zealand. They can also help coordinate national and local government investment support. 

A global network

Investment New Zealand has experienced investment specialists in offshore offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, London, Paris, New York and Los Angeles. These managers are the first contact point for investors in their home countries.

Investment New Zealand's offshore managers work effectively with New Zealand-based sector investment managers to provide regional and sector expertise.

Market analysis and intelligence

Investment New Zealand is dedicated to identifying valuable location and partnership opportunities to match investors’ commercial requirements. Our team  understands the capabilities, competitive advantages and profit drivers of New Zealand's diverse economic sectors, and can also refer investors to reputable professional advisers in New Zealand to help complete investment analysis. Sector analysis examples are labelled on each sector page.

New Zealand has a 'whole-of-government' approach to economic development. This means a range of ministries and departments work together closely to improve the international competitiveness and sustained profitability in New Zealand businesses.
