Thinking of buying a business? Speak with Phil first: https://nextadvisory.nz/buying-a-business/

Investment boost gives you a 20% tax deduction on new equipment before March 31st. But before you rush out to buy that Ford Ranger, Phil and Luke explain why this could be a terrible idea.

We break down how investment boost actually works and the trap people fall into buying things they don't need and can't afford just to save on tax.

If you're going to buy the equipment anyway and you can afford it, investment boost is great. If you're buying it just for tax, you're making an expensive mistake.

Business confidence just hit a 10-year high, but confidence doesn't pay the bills. Action does.

Luke and Phil break down why 2026 will separate the winners from the losers: the businesses making offers are seeing things move, while those sitting on their hands are still struggling. We cover why speed beats perfection, the unfair advantage of being agile, and why you can't wait for perfect conditions.

The economy might be turning, but only for those willing to turn with it. Stop waiting for permission to succeed. The opportunities are there - go get them.

We cover the love-hate exercise, why you might need admin support first, and how to structure the hire properly.

An employee costs more than their salary... Equipment, training, holidays, slow revenue periods. Most owners never model this out.

Don't wing it. Model it out first.

Today Im breaking down the 4 places that your profit disappears, leading to a difference between your cash in the bank compared to your profit number.
