LOANS

We provide loans to Māori women and their whānau to enable and assist them to enter into and commence business and/or to expand and restructure their existing businesses.

For all new MWDI Business Loan Applications and enquiries, please contact us by email mwdi@mwdi.co.nz or phone 04 499 6504 to kōrero with our team. Below are our Loan Application documents (PDF’s), and a link to our online Start Your Own Business self-assessment App.

You must complete this Start Your Own Business (SYOB) self-assessment App prior to completing and submitting your loan application.  The assessment component contains a key part of the application process for a Māori Women’s Development Inc (MWDI) business loan. After you have completed and submitted your responses for analysis by MWDI staff, you will be assessed as a likely suitable applicant for more detailed consideration.

HineBoss is a 3-day business training programme. However, it has recently been modified to assist you in completing at least 80% of your business plan. The programme is best suited for smaller numbers in attendance, however, we are diligently working on an online training option, which we will release upon availability.
