Who We Are

People-first financial advice

Real advice, real people. We’re a nationwide team of advisers helping New Zealanders protect, grow, and enjoy their financial future.

Welcome

Venture was founded to address a gap we identified in the New Zealand market surrounding the ease of obtaining the right advice. We’ve seized the opportunity to drive change and are committed to delivering an unparalleled experience.

As a proudly 100% NZ owned company, Venture embraces technology to benefit both our brokers/advisers and clients, ensuring efficiency, accuracy, and ease of service. Above all, Venture prioritises building strong relationships with our clients, understanding their assets, businesses, investments, risk profile and unique circumstances.

Whether you’re protecting your home, business, reassessing finances, looking to the long term or simply unsure where to begin, we’re here to guide you with clarity, care, and expertise.

With extensive experience across diverse industries and financial advice—Venture has the expertise to find or create tailored solutions that meet your specific needs.
