Business set-up in New Zealand
Register a company through the New Zealand Companies Office or trade as a sole trader, get a New Zealand Business Number (NZBN), and check GST rules with Inland Revenue. Confirm council consent for outdoor installations. This is general information, not legal advice.
Rain, wind and coastal conditions call for weather-rated outdoor units; indoor and covered sites are simpler.
