We've got the tools to get you into a new business

Kick-start your success
Whatever business you decide to get into, we’ll deliver the right tools and advice to kick things off the best way possible (and make it stay that way!). We call it business banking with grunt and it’s all about getting you in full control of your business, right from the word go.

We mean business
We help new business owners get into business every day and no matter what business banking tools you need – finance, everyday banking, specialist advice or support to grow your business along the way – you’re sure to find them at Bank of New Zealand. Not only that, our Business Managers all over the country, have local knowledge as well as business knowledge, to help you succeed in the business you choose. And when you want to accelerate business growth and wealth, we can steer you to the right business growth programme.

One size doesn’t fit all
To make sure your banking is geared towards what you need for this business, we’ll tailor your loan to suit just you. Whether it’s lending against the business assets, its income or the debtors’ ledger, we have a bunch of different loans to choose from and we’ll give you the best rate we can, so you can get your business started as quickly as possible.

Top buying tips
Find out who the key business customers are, and the percentage of turnover these
people represent.
 
Consider placing a restraint of trade on the previous owner.  
Get a good understanding of the difference between the business' cashflow and its
profit.
 
Seek some professional advice from an accountant and solicitor!
