There are close to 500,000 small businesses in New Zealand, employing 30 per cent of the population. It goes without saying, small
businesses are the backbone of our economy. On top of playing a major part in driving the economy, owners play a huge role in ensuring
both they and their employees enjoy healthy, happy lives.

Our recent Mental Health Report revealed that this was one area where small business owners need more support.

Did you know?

Nearly half of small business owners have
experienced a mental health condition.
But only 1 in 4 will actually seek help.

As rewarding as it can be, running a small business also brings with it a range of challenges. This includes
the stress of managing finances, no work-life balance, juggling multiple roles, and the feeling of
responsibility for the success or failure of the business.

We want to make mental health everyone’s business

We’ve partnered with Smiling Mind to deliver a Small
Business Program to support the mental, emotional
and physical wellbeing of small business owners.
