New Zealanders are a pretty practical bunch and resourcefulness has become part of our culture.

That’s because it wasn’t that long ago that we were an isolated little country at the far end of the world. Imports were rare and technology was scarce.  People had to make do with what they had and that led to some creative problem solving.

With a few odds and ends and a bit of number 8 wire you could fix almost anything.  The ‘number 8 wire’ attitude has become part of our cultural landscape and we place a high value on ingenuity.

New Zealand is much more connected to the world than it used to be.  But our past independence and resilience has given us a real entrepreneurial streak today.

Many kiwis have created clever solutions to problems and have made successful businesses out of that.

We keep on proving that we’re creative, practical and adaptive.

Small businesses play a huge part in our economy and they make up most of our industries. These businesses deal with risk on a daily basis and as a result they’re often very resilient and resourceful.

It seems that kiwis can be pretty stubborn when it comes to conceding defeat, so we usually find a way to get the job done.  This helps us refine our products and services as we tackle changeable world markets.

Entrepreneurs, engineers, and investors hold up our ‘find a way to get it done’ approach as one of the country’s advantages.

And we do too.  Minimising risk is important to innovation.  It allows you to focus on doing your thing.  So give us a call to learn more about small business insurance.

We’d love to hear what makes you tick.

From Onny and the Team – Cheers for reading.
