But did you know that not all businesses that appear to be Kiwi-owned actually are? Some well-known websites, like TradeMe and NZ Sale, are actually owned by overseas entities. This means that while they may seem local, your money could be going offshore.

That’s where Buy Kiwi comes in. When you shop with us, you can trust that every purchase supports genuine, hard-working Kiwi-owned businesses. Your dollars stay within New Zealand, helping to sustain local businesses, create jobs, and contribute to our economy.

By choosing Buy Kiwi, you’re making a conscious decision to support the local economy and back businesses that follow New Zealand laws and consumer protections. It’s a way of ensuring that your purchases make a real impact right here at home.

Join the Buy Kiwi movement today and see the difference your support can make! 💚

We’d also love to hear your thoughts: Should only Kiwi-owned businesses be allowed to use .co.nz websites? The petition closes on 12th November, so please share your support by sharing your opinion in our survey below!
