Minister for Small Business and Tukituki MP Craig Foss brought his roadshow for small business to Hawke's Bay yesterday, where more than 100 business owners heard from and met with representatives from 14 government agencies.
Taking Care of Business: Government Supporting Your Business started in June and is travelling to 16 centres.
It will go through to October, helping business owners engage with government agencies.
MC was Susan White of regional economic development agency Business Hawke's Bay.
The first speaker was Mr Foss. "This is all about you - this is an investment of your time to gain knowledge of tools that you have already payed for as taxpayers that I can guarantee will help you in your business," he said.
