About this service

What it is

The Entrepreneur Work Visa is plan-driven. The business plan is not a supporting document but the substance of the application, assessed against a points framework covering business experience, capital and benefit to New Zealand. This plan is built around that framework, with financial forecasts that hold together and a benefit case tied to what the business will actually do.

What the document contains

  • Full business plan with market analysis and competitive position
  • Three-year financial forecasts with stated assumptions
  • Capital structure and evidence of the investment funds
  • Benefit to New Zealand case covering employment, exports and innovation
  • Applicant's business experience mapped to the points framework
  • Implementation timeline covering the start-up period and beyond

What the instructions require

  • 120 points across business experience, capital and benefit to New Zealand
  • NZD $100,000 capital, which may be waived for high-growth, science, ICT or export ventures
  • 12-month start-up visa, then a 24-month extension on evidence of progress

Summarised from Immigration New Zealand instructions current at publication. Instructions change — confirm the current position before relying on any figure.

Indicative, based on what you have selected. We confirm it in writing before any work starts, and tell you first if your matter needs something outside this scope. Excludes GST and any Immigration New Zealand or Tribunal fees.

A PayPal payment link, a credit or debit card link, or a bank transfer invoice is sent within one business day of the quote being confirmed — whichever you prefer.

Submitting this form does not create an engagement. We reply with scope, a fixed fee and a delivery date, and work begins only once you confirm.

How it works

From enquiry to delivered document

The same four steps on every file, whether it is a $155 translation or a $2,900 investor submission.

  1. 1

    Send us the file

    Complete the intake form on this page, or e-mail what you have. Upload the documents you already hold — we will tell you what is missing rather than guess.

  2. 2

    We confirm scope and a fixed fee

    Within one business day you get the scope, a fixed fee and a delivery date in writing. Nothing starts until you accept. The fee does not move afterwards.

  3. 3

    We write the document

    Drafted from your evidence, to the standard the assessor works to, with every figure sourced and nothing asserted that the evidence does not support.

  4. 4

    One revision included

    Tell us what needs to change and we revise once at no charge. Most files never need it, and it is there so you are never stuck with a document that does not fit.

Questions

What clients ask about this service

Can't I write it myself?

You can. It's assessed against a 120-point framework covering business experience, capital and benefit to New Zealand, with three-year forecasts that have to hold together. Most self-written plans lose points on the benefit case.

How much capital do I need?

NZD $100,000, which can be waived for high-growth, science, ICT or export ventures.

How long is the visa?

Twelve months to start up, then a 24-month extension on evidence of progress.
