The Business Enterprise Division offers three key services, focusing on micro, small and medium enterprises in the Cook Islands. 

Start your own business

These services include financial assistance through our BTIB Loan Scheme, workshops to improve business literacy for the community and information on how to start a business in the Cook Islands. 

Our division works closely with other government agencies such as the Cook Islands Tourism, Ministry of Culture, Ministry of Agriculture, and the Punanga Nui Market. Aligning with our agency’s objective, we aim to encourage and facilitate the participants of Cook Islands in the ownership and management of local businesses.
