Having sufficient financial resources to support your business can mean the difference between success and failure, or reaching your goals faster and smarter.  This makes it important to plan the finances you need to establish, maintain or grow your commercial operation. 

Some of the main financial options are:
- Personal resources
- Private investors
- Banks/Financial Institutions
- Venture capitalists
- Business income
- Government grants and other funds

There is a range of funding available to help your business grow through research and development (R&D) - whether you are a small start up or a large established exporter. 

Business R&D is a key driver of innovation, business success and economic growth. Good ideas can lead to new products and services, smarter ways of doing things and a point of difference that sets your business apart.

So, if your business is developing new products, or enhancing existing projects, we want to hear from you!

The grants available are:
- TechNZ Project Funding
- TechNZ Capability Funding
- Technology Transfer Voucher
- Technology Development Grant 
- Global Expert 
- NZTE Capability Development Vouchers 

Investments are assessed individually, but can range from $1,000 to $1 million plus.
