About BizGiver
Every success story starts with a dream…
BizCover wants to grant a $2,000 wish to one deserving business owner.
This is more than just a prize, it’s our way of recognising the dedication, sacrifice, and commitment that small business owners invest in their dreams. Since 2014, we’ve awarded almost $100,000 in grants across New Zealand and Australia. If your wish can be achieved for $2000, will help your business grow and can be invoiced, it could become your reality. So, share that dream and we may just help you bring it to life.

Remember!
Make sure your video doesn’t exceed the 1-minute mark. We might grant some extra seconds but beware of length!
Your business wish MUST be under $2,000 (incl. GST) and disclosed in your video! Note, we will not be giving away cash.
Don’t forget to submit your video along with other required information.
Gentle reminder – Entries that don’t meet the requirements above may not be considered.
Need a nudge in the right direction?
Here are some prompts to help you tell your story.
Pick the ones that suit you best:
What is your business about?
How are you feeling about the future of your business?
Why is it important to support small businesses?
What are your goals for your business?
What makes your business unique?
Key Entry Criteria
You must be a small business.
This means 20 or fewer employees. If you’re a one-man band that’s also perfect.
You must have a valid NZBN.
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 have an NZBN.
Wish for an item or service.
All wishes would need to be for an actual product or service – anything that would help your business.
The lucky winner will place the order for their prize and send the invoice to BizCover.
Wish away!
While we only award one wish to the value of up to $2,000 (incl. GST), you can enter as many times as you’d like!
Note, we will not be giving away cash.
Why apply for the BizGiver grant?
Because it’s a chance to win up to $2,000 to bring your business wish to life – no strings attached, just real support for real small businesses. Hear from multiple small business owners who have given it a go!

Winning this prize will help increase my exposure to a bigger audience, which means more people will be aware of the specialised services I offer. I will be more confident to invest in further training … Winning has also given me an emotional boost.
Frequently asked questions
That’s perfectly ok! We don’t need a professional video of you and/or your business and we don’t want you to hire someone to film one for you. A simple video filmed with your phone is more than enough.
Remember, submitting a video as part of your application is mandatory. We love reading about the stories behind your businesses and adding a video of you and/or your business will help bring your story to life!
No. Our terms and conditions stipulate that we must purchase the good or service on the winner’s behalf so that it is not considered a cash prize. We cannot ‘donate’ a lump sum towards a good or service. To ensure you have are eligible to win, please wish for a good or service that is $2,000 or less.
Yes! If you wish to redo your entry because you forgot to include something, please do so, and we’ll simply look at the most recent entry of yours.
