The Small Business Digital Boost programme launched in the third quarter of 2020 to help small business owners realise the benefits of digitising their business. The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) developed the programme in partnership with the private sector. The programme helps support and enable the Government's vision for New Zealand to have the most digitally engaged small business sector in the world.
Digital Boost has some exciting developments in the works! Digital Boost’s newest Checkable tool on the Educate Platform has undergone some major updates to help businesses maximise their online presence.

Checkable is a one-stop digital check-up. It works by running several diagnostic checks that determine how a business' website and social media accounts are performing, as well as how easy the business is to find online. Checkable provides a score for each check and a recommendation of where businesses should prioritise their time to improve their digital presence. Check out the video below to learn more about what Checkable can do for your business!
