New Zealanders have worked hard for decades — yet our national productivity growth remains stubbornly flat. It limits our living standards, constrains wage growth, slows investment & puts pressure on the quality of our public services.
Despite the effort & innovation inside our businesses, most SMBs don’t have a clear way to see how they compare, know what “good” looks like, or which actions will move the needle next.
Support is fragmented, reporting is historic, and improvement is often ad‑hoc rather than systematic.
Real improvement won’t come from policy alone. It happens inside businesses: when leaders gain clarity, build operating discipline, and improve week after week.
But Many Business Leaders Don’t:
The Better SMB exists to change that

This partner‑powered model strengthens local ownership & support while enabling national progress.
