We’re here for you
From start-ups to SMEs to large exporting businesses, your first Whanganui connection begins here.
Whanganui’s Comparitive Advantages
If you’re interested in establishing a business – we have the information and resources to help. We connect you with the people and opportunities you need to make the best choices for your business.
Invest in this growing city
Now is a great time to invest in Whanganui. The local economy is resilient and businesses are forming and growing at pace. Consumer demand is strong and opportunities for investment and development abound as net migration drives population growth.
Whanganui has excellent infrastructure and economic diversity and the economic development leaders at Whanganui & Partners are ready to help you realise this city’s investment potential.
Our pro-business approach
Our free-to-use business-friendly process will identify the key steps needed to get your business established. When you connect with us a facilitator will identify the people and resources you’ll need to be successful.
Then, we’ll organise a meeting with all the relevant experts together in one place, through our Business Friendly Group. This meeting can include Whanganui District Council staff from property, infrastructure, building control, regulatory, planning and communications teams – or whoever is relevant to your business’ needs.
Once you have met with the Business-Friendly Group, your facilitator will keep in touch with you to make sure your project is progressing.
