We're registered with the Management Capability Development Voucher Fund to provide services to help protect your business against the impact of Covid-19. Your business may qualify for vouchers for up to a 50% subsidy.


McIntyre Dick has registered Business Continuity and Cashflow Management services available to be accessed through this funding framework.

We will provide practical one-to-one advice to businesses impacted by Covid-19. This service is targeted at business owners to ensure their business is resilient, manages cashflow, and is in a position to retain its employees post Covid-19.

  • Areas of support you can expect help with include:
  • Support and advice on your cashflow forecast.
  • Advice on how to mitigate business continuity issues, and identify and manage financing challenges and opportunities.
  • Assistance to maximise government entitlements and taxation relief.


Funding is limited so please understand that your growth advisor may or may not be able to assist with funding.

If you would like to speak to someone at McIntyre Dick regarding this service please contact either Brad Phillips bradp@mdp.co.nz or Ashley Burdon at ashleyb@mdp.co.nz
