Help us improve business rules
Creating Business Rules that work
It's important for all of us that New Zealand's regulatory framework for business encourages economic growth, business confidence, globally competitive companies, and social well-being. This government is committed to achieving that.
Consultation needs to happen at every level
Compared to other countries, our business rules are said to make New Zealand one of the easiest places in the world to do business. However, to keep that ranking we must keep ensuring our rules are the best. We regularly talk with business organisations such as Economic Development Agencies, Chambers of Commerce, the Council of Trade Unions, and the Manufacturers Associations about the broad issues affecting business.
We also want individual business people to tell government directly about the day-to-day rules that impact on the growth of their business. We want to uncover unnecessary or burdensome compliance requirements (no matter how small), and to hear your suggestions for practical solutions to the concerns raised by the rules, or their implementation.
We'd like your help
Please lend us the benefit of your experience. Tell us about any rules that you think need to be sorted, those little things that irritate you, and what you think that can be done about them.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Hon Lianne Dalziel Minister of Commerce and for Small Business.
