Let's kōrero
Only 1 in 10 businesses are truly sale-ready.

WE Mana is conducting one of the first Risk, Profit & Value Driver studies focused on Māori & Pacific enterprises.

Participate in the study

The Value Gap Problem

Most founders don’t know what their business is worth.
Even fewer understand what is driving, or limiting, that value.

Participate in the Study

Free. Confidential. Data-backed. 

Across New Zealand & Australia

• 42% of SME owners don’t know their business value

• 81% have a value gap risk

• Only 1 in 10 businesses are truly sale-ready

For Māori and Pacific founders, the data is even less visible.

Many are building resilient businesses grounded in culture and community, but without measurable insight into risk exposure, profit strength or transferability.

The result?

• Founders carrying more than they should.
• Businesses overly dependent on one person.
• Legacy left to assumption.

The Risk, Profit & Value Driver Study

WE Advisory is leading one of the first National datasets of it's kind. A National Risk, Profit & Value Driver study focused on Māori and Pacific-owned enterprises.

For generations, our people have built resilient businesses grounded in hard work, whānau and community. Yet many founders lack clear, data-backed insight into what is driving business value - and what may be quietly eroding it.

Without that clarity, founders carry the burden longer than they should.

This study provides measurable insight into:

• Risk exposure
• Profit strength
• Founder dependency
• Transferable value

Helping founders understand where they stand today - and what needs to shift next. Without that clarity, founders carry the burden longer than they should.

Participants receive a personalised scorecard, benchmarking insights, and early access to a publicly released White Paper comparing Māori and Pacific enterprises with wider New Zealand data.

Participation is free. 

Places are limited to ensure meaningful data integrity.

Participate in the Study

“For many founders, this is the first time they truly understand what their business is worth.”

Our Advisory Framework

01 - Research Before Recommendation

We begin with measurable insight. Every engagement is grounded in data - not assumptions - so founders understand precisely where risk, value and dependency sit.

02 - Culturally Grounded Strategy

Māori and Pacific enterprises carry more than financial responsibility. Decisions affect whānau, team and community. Our advisory approach honours that reality while strengthening commercial performance.

03 - Designed for Transferable Value

Growth alone is not the objective. We focus on building businesses that operate beyond the founder - increasing resilience, sustainability and long-term optionality.

04 - Structured for Transition

Whether succession is five or fifteen years away, we design with transition in mind. Strong governance, reduced founder dependency and measurable value drivers create real strategic freedom.

If you are a Māori or Pacific business owner ready to understand the true drivers of your business value - we invite you to participate in this national study.

Participation is free. Places are limited.
