our services

helping member-owned businesses thrive

There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to co-operatives and mutuals. That’s why Cooperative Business NZ offers a range of services to ensure that we cater for all of New Zealand’s member-owned businesses, regardless of sector, size or stage of business they’re in.
