The Regional Business Partner Network is making available $2,000 funding for eligible Auckland based businesses to receive 1:1 advice to help them through the COVID-19 crisis. This is a limited fund available until 30th June 2020.

We would only be able to help 20 Businesses only, on a first come first serve basis.
Here is how ATEED plans to deliver the funds allocated for Auckland.
There are limited funds, intended to support businesses with 1:1 advice to help them through this initial crisis period. ATEED wants to support businesses by investing in professional advice which they fully fund with the criteria below.
To do so they will be limiting the value to each eligible business to $2000 – we are happy to move clients to the co-funding model as we move out of this crisis period. As advised above The Engine is approved to deliver to businesses utilizing this funding.
