Based on our Kiwi origins, founder Gustavo’s father was a New Zealander with his roots in Dunedin, we have established important relationships with public and private organisations in New Zealand.

New Zealand is ideally located midway between Argentina and Asia and offers a natural opening to the Asia-Pacific region. As a result New Zealand companies and individuals are well placed to work together with Argentine partners in the development of markets and opportunities in Asia, and Argentine companies make natural partners for New Zealand businesses interested in Latin America. Argentina is culturally closer to New Zealand than any other South American country with its English roots, similar climate, high level of English spoken, and the outstanding Pumas rugby team!

Gustavo was in New Zealand recently as part of the NZTE Beachhead programme and he was invited to share his thoughts on national television. To listen to Gustavo’s TV3 interview please click this link. Gustavo Richardson TV3 NZ Interview

• New Zealand and Argentina Business Development
Historically New Zealand businesses have shied away from the South American market because of concerns about economic stability, however with a stable macroeconomic climate for the last seven years now is a good time to look at the excellent opportunities that the region can offer.

As well as opportunities within Argentina and New Zealand for each others products and services there are outstanding possibilities for enhanced growth throughout the whole Latin American continent. Working together also provides the potential to partner with South American firms to target markets such as Asia, where New Zealand is already well regarded, or Europe, where many South American firms have strong traditional roots.

At Richardson and Associates we work with companies in New Zealand and Argentina, to identify opportunities and markets in each others countries. The current world economic outlook provides opportunities for companies that are prepared to be proactive and go out and search for them. Many small and medium sized companies are well positioned to seize opportunities in this part of the world. Our team can help you achieve this.

Kiwi Chartered Accountant Rob Mumford has been living in Argentina for 10 years and he understands well the pleasures and pitfalls of doing business here. His experience combined with the legal and local knowledge of Gustavo Richardson means that Richardson and Associates Consulting Division is a one stop shop for Kiwis wanting to do business in Argentina and for Argentines interested in New Zealand.

• Latin America New Zealand Business Council
Established in 1991 following a merger of the Mexican and Chilean Business Councils with New Zealand the LANZBC is a voluntary grouping of New Zealand business people interested in supporting and encouraging business links between the countries of Latin America and New Zealand. The LANZBC funded exclusively by members’ subscriptions, sponsors’ contributions, and fees for individual assistance to certain events. It receives no funds from Government, and operates totally independently from it.

Following many years of neglect, particularly in the 1980s, Latin America has transformed itself in the 1990s, becoming one of the world’s fastest growing regions.  The Latin American business environment is more similar to the New Zealand context than most people realize.
