Toronga Awhi - Support

The RBPN helps pākihi access the advice, support, and expertise they need to grow and succeed. Through a nationwide network of Growth Advisors, businesses can connect with tailored support, including business mentoring, capability development, and connections to specialist services.

The RBPN works alongside business owners to identify opportunities, address challenges, and build capability, helping enterprises become more productive, resilient, and ready for sustainable growth. For Māori businesses, this can provide valuable pathways to strengthen and expand their operations.

This programme is delivered by us in conjunction with Te Puna Umanga, Venture Taranaki.
