What we do

The Nelson Tasman Business Trust (NTBT) was established in 1993 as an independent, non-profit organisation, to provide free assistance and advice to both start up and existing businesses in the Nelson Tasman region. Talk to us if you would like a free consultation and business advisory, to be matched to a mentor, or are keen to connect to training and networking opportunities.

Each year through NTBT:

  • 100+ businesses are matched to a mentor
  • 300+ businesses receive a free and confidential consultation
  • 570+ business owners attend training and networking meetings
  • 530+ referrals to access further support
  • Hundreds of thousands of dollars of in-kind contributions are made to the local economy

The Trust receives excellent levels of satisfaction and recommendation from client surveys.
