There are big opportunities outside the big cities
Businesses thrive in Whanganui, due to our accessible location, comprehensive infrastructure, a proactive council and low operational overhead. Our district’s population is large enough to support a market for almost any business, while remaining small enough to facilitate connections with customers, clients and collaborators.
New ventures benefit from enthusiastic community backing and established businesses discover opportunities for expansion and innovation through relationships with like-minded businesses.
Whanganui is business friendly
If your business wants to expand or establish in Whanganui, the Whanganui & Partners facilitated Business Friendly Group can help.
The Business Friendly Group helps businesses by identifying all the processes a new venture needs to work through, and gathering the relevant Whanganui District Council experts together in one place to get things underway.
