This document outlines how the National Party of New Zealand plan to increase entrepreneurial activity in New Zealand if they win the 2020 general election.

Key points

For those who lose their jobs after 1 March 2020, National will support them if they want to get into their own business and give them the confidence to take on the challenge. National will:

1. Provide a one-off $1000 voucher to buy advice and support from a Chartered Accountant or Registered Financial Adviser to develop a business plan that shows the business is a viable proposal
2. In addition, like all business owners, BusinessStart recipients will be able to write off new investment of up to $150,000 per new asset instantly under National’s previously announced policy
