SUPPORTING BUSINESS GROWTH
Whether you are just starting out, or have been in business for years, there are great business support networks in Tokoroa.
Space to Grow
Not only does this initiative offer business support, it promotes the amazing lifestyle & places to explore in our region.
SWIFT
The South Waikato Investment Fund Trust (SWIFT) is a community-owned economic development fund dedicated to the growth and development of business in South Waikato.
Their purpose is to be a development catalyst for the region, supporting a resilient economy and enhancing community wellbeing. SWIFT focuses on supporting South Waikato’s existing industries and established businesses to activate new ideas and initiatives so they can flourish, grow and strive together to transform the region through job creation and opportunity.
They offer funding and loans available to assist with feasibility studies, business planning, and other enablers of growth. SWIFT can also help business leaders leverage training support to develop their capabilities and help connect them to the right people via their strong business networks and contacts.
Unlike traditional ‘investors’, SWIFT doesn’t ask for much in return – in fact, the main ROI they care about is the number of quality jobs a business is able to create.
Impact Hub Tokoroa
Designed for impact-driven professionals, entrepreneurs, and anyone with an interest in socially and environmentally-conscious lifestyles, this co-working Space (which features offices, desks and meeting rooms), quickly became a home for innovators, dreamers and doers, and a birthplace for new ideas, projects and ventures.
