What our Clients say

More than design — we help you understand the system

Many small businesses struggle not because they lack skill or effort, but because no one ever explained how things like tax, structure, and cashflow actually work in New Zealand.

Alongside branding and digital services, Wise Start provides:

clear business education
practical guides and tools
decision support for sole traders and small businesses

You can make informed choices, avoid unnecessary stress, and work confidently with professionals when needed.

Running a business in New Zealand comes with rules most people were never taught. My Resources page gives you clear, practical education to support informed decisions — starting with NZ Small Business Tax: What You’re Not Taught (PDF) covering profit vs revenue, allowable expenses, home office claims, depreciation, GST and provisional tax, and when to review your business structure
