The Tauranga Chamber of Commerce is expanding its resources to help businesses affected by Covid-19. Additional funding has been provided by the government to the Regional Business Partnership Network (RBP) nationwide.
The Bay of Plenty region received funding for an additional three full-time Growth Advisors to support businesses, boosting the existing four advisors already working here. The advisors are being shared across Tauranga Chamber of Commerce, Eastern Bay of Plenty Chamber of Commerce and Rotorua Business Chamber, as well as Poutama Trust, which will receive a Growth Advisor to boost support for Māori business networks and owners.
Businesses can contact the Biz Hub helpline to arrange a meeting (one-to-one or digitally), free of charge, with one of the Growth Advisors to discuss how they are affected by COVID-19 and what support they need.
Tauranga Chamber of Commerce chief executive Matt Cowley said there was so much information available it could be overwhelming.
“We want the business community to know they have somewhere to turn to for guidance and that they can walk away from their session with a Growth Advisor with a renewed level of confidence and support.”
