  Christmas  
     
  Welcome to the final edition of the Business Insider for 2011.

Do you throw Christmas parties or give out gifts for staff or clients? If so, there are a few tax deductibility rules you need to know.

Also in this edition, we’ve caught up with Jeff Broad from Autogrow, winner of the exporter prize in our Business Plan Competition earlier in the year, to find out how he is growing his business internationally. He’s given us some handy tips to pass on to other exporters, or those thinking of exporting.

Planning has begun for the 2012 Business.govt.nz Flying Start Business Plan Competition and we are looking for sponsors. If you support small businesses in New Zealand and would like to be involved in the competition, find out below how to be a sponsor.

We hope everybody has a great Christmas and we look forward seeing you next year!
