Build, Fund & Future-Proof Your Business

Registrations are now open for both November 12th and 26th Workshops in Lower Hutt

Whether you joined us last time or are coming along for the first time, this free, hands-on session is designed to help you feel confident and in control of your business or future business finances. Knowing what options are out there and available to a business owner can make the world of difference.

Part 1 – 12 November
with Ross Kinzett, Small Business Partner at BNZ
Ross will break down the essentials of business finance, from understanding your numbers to exploring funding options that can help you grow. Learn how to access small business tools and services, confidently navigate loans and finance options, and get a clear picture of what’s possible whether you’re just starting out or already established.

See you there!

Can’t wait for this one! Come along

We’re excited to welcome Nu’uali’i Eteroa Lafaele to BizHub Porirua on Friday 7 November! 💜

Born and raised in Cannons Creek Porirua, Eteroa is a proud Samoan tech founder and community leader whose mahi has earned national and international recognition, from Forbes 30 Under 30 to Young New Zealander of the Year.

As co-founder of Fibre Fale and creator of DigiTautua, Eteroa’s journey is all about empowering Pacific people in tech and bridging the digital divide. She’ll be sharing the three business lessons she’d give to a whānau member starting their own business. There’ll be time for a Q&A too!

Eteroa has also just announced her debut children’s book, Ete Fixes the Glitch, launching on the 8th of November at Cannons Creek Library. This book follows a curious young girl who loves exploring how things work — until one day, her tablet “glitches,” and she discovers the power of problem-solving, creativity and teamwork.. 💻📚
