Alert Level Four will mean different things to different businesses and sectors, with many of you already having plans in place for this scenario.
We’ve collated some of the key resources to help you navigate the impacts and changes needed over this time.
Financial Support Tool
With Alert Level Four restricting many businesses from operation, it’s a good time to refamiliarise yourself with the support options available from government. The COVID-19 Financial Support Tool provides a straight forward way to see what options are available for your business and employees.
FREE Business Helpline
Make use of the FREE helpline available to all businesses in New Zealand, where you can receive specific advice and access to government support, clarification on what the Alert Level means for your business, HR and general business advice as well as connections to business advisory services.
