What is an NZBN number and what does it do?

A New Zealand Business Number (NZBN) is a globally unique identifier, available to all Kiwi businesses. Registered companies have been allocated NZBNs and are automatically included on the NZBN Register. Afirmo can set you up with your NZBN in a few minutes. 

What does a NZBN do? 

The NZBN is a unique identifier for your business. Whether you're a sole trader, partnership or company there's an NZBN for you. Your NZBN makes doing business faster and easier because it links to your core business information (known as Primary Business Data). This includes things such as your trading name, phone number or email. That means anyone you do business or interact with (such as suppliers or customers) can easily, quickly and digitally access all the details they need about your business in order to work with you.
