Location Strengths

With around 600,000 consumers within an hour's drive of Kapiti and Horowhenua. That's a pretty good location strength to start with. But it's only one of a number of reasons why our business leaders tell us the region is a good place to operate their businesses - why they start operating here and why they stay here even if the bulk of their customers are in the wider Wellington region, elsewhere in New Zealand, or even overseas.

The Kapiti Horowhenua Region has many advantages as a place to invest, to start a business or to relocate an existing business: advantages that far outweigh the size of our small rural community (albeit one with a significant manufacturing base). These advantages can be summed up in 6 points:

• Location
• Cost
• Infrastructure 
• Workforce
• Supporting resources
• Lifestyle

We'll make it easy for you, whether you are a potential business migrant; an investor; considering relocating your business, or starting a new business.

We can:

1. contact you to better understand your interests and needs;
2. prepare a proposal outlining the advantages we hold for your business;
3. where possible, send one of our senior staff to call on you in person; and
4. appoint a specific liaison manager to work with you, and draw up with you a project plan to meet your needs.

Enterprise Coast together with Kapiti Coast and Horowhenua District Councils are serious about attracting new people, new businesses, and new resources to our Districts. 

We will work hard to make you welcome.
