One year. $100,000,000. Hundreds of NZ businesses backed. Taxi has just passed $107.8 million in available funding for Kiwi businesses — a massive milestone in our mission to fix New Zealand’s broken business funding system. We launched 12 months ago to give business owners a real alternative to the banks, and we’re just getting started. 🚀 We’ve just won a change to NZ legislation, unlocking access to Taxi for even more business owners. 🚀 That means faster, fairer, simpler funding — from a team that’s actually in your corner. 📰 Read this morning’s NZ Herald article about this exciting update:  https://lnkd.in/gR3W5j3U 👀 Check out our blog post announcing the changes: gotaxi.co.nz/blog/ica

A bit of news from us: Nicola Taylor, our co-founder, has just been named a finalist in the NZ Hi-Tech Awards 🙌 She’s in the running for the Datacom Hi-Tech Inspiring Individual award, which is huge — but if you know Nicola, you’ll know she sees this as a recognition for all of Taxi, not just herself.

Today’s the day! 15 January is a provisional tax date for most Kiwi businesses. If you’ve got your account setup complete, remember to make today’s tax deposit through Taxi—tax payments made directly to IRD cannot be used as security for Taxi funding. Still need to create your Taxi account? There's still time to get started. If your myIR connection isn't live yet—which can take up to 24 hours to activate—you can still make a tax payment. Simply complete your account setup as usual and use the 'Add a custom amount' option in the Taxi dashboard to proceed without your myIR connection. 🆕 Get started today: gotaxi.co.nz. 📞 Our team is here to help: 0800 829 769.

The 15 January provisional tax date is just around the corner! 🕒   Paying your tax through Taxi means you’ll be able to use this tax payment as security to access affordable business funding at just 5.90% p.a.

Did you know that around 70% of New Zealand businesses experienced cash flow pressures over the past 12 months? There are only three days left until the 15 January provisional tax deadline, and this can be a major drag on cash flow for many businesses just as the year is starting. Paying your tax through Taxi now means you’ll be able to meet your tax bill and use this tax payment as security to access affordable business funding later in the year, should you need to do so. With our new Standby plan, you can make this tax payment without incurring any fees if you never need to access funds—that’s a lot of peace of mind for a $0 price tag. Why not take 10 minutes, grab a coffee and set up your Taxi account now? gotaxi.co.nz/go ☕️

Business funding that is “democratic” and “dignified” 🤔   Bill Bennett at NZ Herald finds out more about Taxi from our co-founder Nicola Taylor and it’s well worth having a read.   “Dignified” comes from doing away with the possibility of rejection, as long as you meet basic criteria and have made provisional tax payments, there is no barrier to getting the funds. There is no need to justify yourself.   “Democratic”, because this kind of lending against provisional tax payments has been available to large companies for some time. “We didn’t think that was fair. Every Kiwi business needs this kind of funding.”   We’re seeing more and more companies signing up to Taxi, especially as we enter the traditionally difficult summer trading period. If you want peace of mind or additional funding that is affordable and flexible, set up your Taxi account today.   Read the article: https://lnkd.in/gvbAs7TK Check if Taxi is right for your business by using our Eligibility Checker: gotaxi.co.nz/eligibility
