The Companies Office is a business unit within the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment and we’re responsible for administering New Zealand’s business registers for corporate entities, securities over personal property, capital markets and financial products.

As the authoritative source of information on New Zealand companies we’re focussed on making New Zealand a fair and easy place to do business. We do this by:

•	ensuring all entities and companies on our registers are legitimate
•	helping businesses to know, understand and comply with the law
