Business Support

Supporting North Canterbury businesses is what we do! Are you looking to start a new business? Maybe you need help to grow your existing business? Or are you thinking of winding things up?

Whatever your business needs, ENC can connect you to the right information, education or support network. Browse this page to start your journey.

Free Business Assessment

A good place to start is by meeting our business growth advisor, Guy Graham. Guy will assess your business needs and recommend a range of resources, coaching or training to assist you.

ENC’s business assessment is totally free and can be an invaluable tool for moving your business ahead.

We have a wide range of local connections, a huge knowledge base and a large list of free business resources. We may be able to link you with just the right person who will make your business thrive.

If coaching or training is the best option for you, Guy has access to subsidies that you may be eligible for, significantly reducing the cost of your education.
