97% of all businesses in New Zealand are considered small businesses, defined as having fewer than 20 employees.
Also, small businesses in New Zealand account for 29.3% of total employment and more than 25% of the country's GDP. The recovery of New Zealand's small businesses following COVID-19 has been essential to the economy's long-term viability and growth, as well as the well-being of thousands of small business owners and employees.
So, the next time you go to your local bakery, buy from a family-owned bookstore, or hire a friendly handyman, remember that you're directly supporting the heart and soul of New Zealand's economy: the small business community!
