Why Invest in New Zealand

Seven Good Reasons:

1. New Zealand is a great place to be in business.  A 2009 Report from Legatum Institute, a London-based think tank, ranks New Zealand as the world's 10th most prosperous country.  The report measures wealth and "general wellbeing".
    
2. New Zealand has the highest proportion of opportunity entrepreneurs in the OECD and ranks significantly higher than the US.
    
3. We have a democratic political system and a free-market philosophy.
    
4. New Zealand’s demographics replicate those of larger markets and provide an excellent test-bed for new products and services.
    
5. Overseas companies are already well represented in New Zealand, enjoying success in their own right or as part of a joint collaboration with local enterprise.
    
6. Creativity drives New Zealand – from design and production of pleasure craft to super yachts, from electric fencing to ion-beam magnets, and from video animation techniques to The Lord of the Rings.
    
7. New business immigration policies make it easier for business people and investors to gain residency, with realistic minimum investment levels, a wide range of qualifying investment options and assistance with identifying investment opportunities.
