BizGiver launch in NZ: Granting a $2000 wish this spring

Ask any small business owner about the most difficult aspect of running a business and you’ll most likely get a range of answers. However, there is common one thing that most discover when venturing down the path of business ownership: the never-ending task of balancing business expenses and managing the cash flow. Just as you get your head above water and take a few deep breaths, along comes another unexpected expense!

Starting off as a small business themselves back in 2010, BizCover NZ, an online insurance service for small businesses, knows all too well the lengths that a small business needs to go to in order to stay afloat, let alone the extra effort and expense it takes to grow a business and take it to the next level.

BizGiver Australia has to date helped over 30 different small business owners from all sorts of industries and occupations. So, this year, BizCover NZ launched their first round of BizGiver Grant for NZ small business, which aims to give back to the community who have helped fuel their business.

“It makes a huge difference winning this prize. I can now purchase much needed tools and free up money for other business costs”

About BizGiver

Each Spring and Autumn, the BizGiver program grants the wish of one small business owner by providing them with a good or a service that will help them spark a new revenue stream or just to make life a little easier.  The $2,000 grant aims to remove some of the simple barriers to growth that business owners face every day.

Any small business owner or employee can make a wish for their business, and they need not be a policy holder with BizCover’s insurance service to win.

“So much of BizCover’s success is due to the small business community, who have embraced our services over more traditional methods of buying insurance,” said BizCover Founder and Managing Director, Michael Gottlieb. “This program is just one way we aim to give back to that community, to thank them for their support and for sharing in BizCover’s vision.”
