Senior Entrepreneurship in Aotearoa New Zealand

Senior Entrepreneurship in Aotearoa New Zealand

Starting a business later in life is an activity that increasing number of people will aspire to, and need to pursue given demographic trends, economic realities and the challenges older workers face in employment.

Over the past 4 years I have lead a comprehensive research project through Massey University researching senior entrepreneurship in Aotearoa New Zealand.

We were thrilled to launch the reports and resources this last week. We have written two reports - Senior Entrepreneurship in Aotearoa New Zealand - an unrealised opportunity and a condensed report Starting a Business Later in Life. We have also produced a 7 minute video that summarises the findings. We have developed an online self assessment tool for people thinking about starting a business. It asks 18 questions and produces a customised report. We have also written a number of practical information sheets.

Feel free to download or link to the website if you wish to make to reports, resources and tools available to others.

Fantastic work - with Flexi retirement being a real option for many business is a great way to achieve this.

It was great to be at the Launch on Thursday night. Lots of hard work has gone into this research, and some excellent tools are provided to help anyone looking to make a change and leap of faith.
