New Zealand presents attractive business opportunities for international companies seeking market entry into the Asia-Pacific region. However, business regulations, tax legislation, company law, and cultural considerations can create significant challenges when establishing operations in unfamiliar territory.
Getting all these elements right simultaneously, whilst maintaining focus on core business objectives, is extraordinarily challenging without local expertise and professional guidance.
