New research has found that one in five Kiwis are operating a “side hustle” or secondary business as a way to make money outside their usual occupation.
The survey, conducted by Omnibus for Noel Leeming, found that while many Kiwis are embracing their entrepreneurial spirit to start a side hustle, many still restricted by a lack of technology know-how.
In response, Noel Leeming has announced the launch of a helpdesk service for all customers to support Kiwis and their IT challenges.
The idea has been developed to create a troubleshooting IT manager available on call for Kiwi entrepreneurs and small business owners. A free 30-minute service will be available post-purchase or IT support on-call, seven days a week at an affordable price.
The research found that Millennials and Gen X’s are commonly among those most inspired to start their own businesses including selling cupcakes online to tutoring, design and photography.
