The Covid-19 pandemic has created challenges for Pasifika businesses, but many are not taking up the free help on offer.
The Pacific Business Trust (PBT) rolled out a ‘rescue package’ in the first week of the lockdown, but the uptake from businesses has been slow.
PBT has a wide range of experts available online to help any Pasifika business or sole trader with marketing, accounting, procurement, contracts, finance and strategy.
Reporter Johnson Raela spoke with PBT Relationship Manager Beatrice Faumuina to find out more about how PBT can help Pasifika businesses.
The PBT Covid-19 service is free and you can speak to advisors confidentially about your situation. Talk to the Pacific Business Trust team on 0800 287 7526 or visit http://www.pacificbusiness.co.nz
