Who the business helps
New Zealand farmers and rural landowners considering farm performance, asset use, property investment, diversification or the future direction of their property.
Whole-of-Property Review
The flagship service brings the farm operation, land, buildings, infrastructure and natural resources into one connected assessment. It starts with the owner’s goals, examines current uses and practical options, and identifies improvement priorities and opportunities worth investigating.
Services
Farm performance: examine the existing operation and improvement opportunities. Diversification: assess alternative income options against the property’s suitability and the owner’s goals. Investment priorities: compare competing demands on time and capital. Property strategy: connect current uses, assets and longer-term direction. Succession considerations: frame property and enterprise questions for changing ownership, roles and family priorities.
Opportunities assessed
Possible opportunities include honey, hunting, accommodation, tourism, forestry and renewable energy. Suitability depends on the individual property. Rural Enterprise Advisory advises on these possibilities; it does not operate those activities. Improving the current farm or using existing assets better may be the best outcome.
When a review may be useful
A review may suit an owner asking whether the existing farm could work better, which assets are underused, whether a new activity is practical, which investments should come first, or how property decisions connect to succession. A new enterprise idea is not required.
Specialist assessment
The review identifies priorities and questions for further investigation. Specific legal, tax, financial, planning and technical matters may require assessment by the appropriate specialist.
