Browse by category
Fifteen main categories covering 120 services, from trades and property to health, hospitality and rural contracting.
Browse by region
Six of the sixteen regions, chosen by where most searches come from rather than as any judgement about the places themselves.
Premium listings
Businesses on the Premium plan. Every business in the directory, free and Premium, is on the category and location pages.
No Premium listings yet
This is where Premium businesses appear. Nothing is missing from the directory itself: browse the categories or the regions to see everything that is listed.
How the directory works
- 1
Search what you need
Type a service, a category or a business name, and pick a region or town. The directory matches on the place names people actually use, macrons or not.
- 2
Compare what comes back
Every listing shows the name, where the business works, a description and a link. Premium listings carry more, including hours and photographs.
- 3
Contact them directly
Call the number or open their website. Nothing goes through us, there is no enquiry form in the middle and no lead is sold to anybody.
Free and Premium listings
A free listing carries your name, address, phone number, website and a category. Premium adds the rest of the profile.

About this directory
Organised by category and by place
The directory holds fifteen main categories and 120 services, and covers all sixteen New Zealand regions through 64 location areas. A business appears under the places it genuinely works in, which may be the town it is based in, the areas it travels to, its whole region or the whole country.
There is no page for every suburb or village. A business keeps its exact locality in its own address, which is what makes the entry useful as a citation, and is browsed under the nearest area that people actually search for.
What a listing does and does not say
Every listing is submitted by somebody connected to the business and reviewed by a person before it appears. A listing states the business’s own details: its name, where it works, how to contact it and what it does.
There are no ratings and no reviews here, and the directory does not verify licences, registrations, insurance or trade association membership. Check those with the relevant authority before you hire anybody.
Common questions
Is the New Zealand Business Directory free to use?
Yes, for anybody looking for a business. There is no sign-up, no paywall and nothing is charged for a search. Listing a business is also free, and a paid Premium plan is optional.
How are businesses ordered in the results?
Premium listings appear first, in an order that rotates once a day against the New Zealand date, then every other matching business alphabetically. Premium is a paid listing plan. It is not a recommendation, a ranking, a review score or an endorsement, and no business can buy a fixed position.
Does the directory check that a business is licensed or insured?
No. Listings are reviewed by a person to confirm the business is real and the details are its own. That is not a check of licences, registrations, insurance or trade association membership, and no page here claims it is. Check those with the relevant authority before you hire anybody.
How do I add my business?
Create an account, confirm your email address, fill in your details and submit the listing for review. A free listing carries your name, address, phone number, website, a short description and one category.
Run a business in New Zealand?
