About the Program
The BizGiver Grant is our way of giving back to the small business community who fuel our economy. Now is the time for Small Business to shine! Every quarter BizCover will grant the wish of one small business owner to help spark a new revenue stream or just make life a little easier.
We’re constantly blown away by the dedication, sacrifice and commitment these unsung heroes’ put into their work and the BizGiver Grant program aims to remove some of the simple barriers to growth that business owners face every day. We say, as long as a wish is invoiceable, it’s eligible, so whatever your wish is let us know and you may have your wish granted!
Key Entry Criteria
You must be a Small Business.
This means 20 or less employees. If you’re a one man band that’s also perfect.
You must have a valid NZ Company Number.
This is to make sure that you are an actual business. If you have a venture that hasn’t quite started we ask that you wait until you’ve gotten a NZ Company Number.
Wish for an item or service.
All wishes need to be for an actual product or service – anything that would help your business. We cannot give away cash.
Wish away!
While we only award one wish to the value of up to $2000, you can enter as many times as you’d like!
