Regional Business Partner Network COVID-19 Support

Acclaim Group is registered as a provider for the Regional Business Partner Network COVID-19 Support program. This service is being used to deliver government-paid assistance to small and medium sized businesses, and will be the recipient of much of the additional government funding for business advice recently announced as a response to the economic repercussions of COVID-19.

As a service provider through this scheme, Acclaim offers one-on-one consultation with our business consultants on how best your business can approach this challenging environment to survive and rebound. We can assist with a review of your payroll, financial and ERP systems and advise on structure, automation and streamlining.

This targeted support provides business owners with up to a 100% subsidy towards the registered service cost (capped at $5000 per annum, but individual limits will be set). Vouchers may be provided to a business where the Growth Advisors have identified a need for an action plan to support the business owner to grow and innovate their business.

As a small or medium sized business you may qualify for funding to help pay for these advisory services. We strongly recommend that if you are looking for guidance and advice in these areas you register with your local Growth Advisor at www.regionalbusinesspartner.co.nz.

If you are unsure about where to go or what to do, contact us today and we can help point you in the right direction.
