BodyTorque Fitness Founder and Coach Alex Flint joins the Health Hub to discuss. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Simon Bridges: Auckland Business Chamber CEO on the new Business Investor Visa

More foreign investors could soon flock in to work hard on Kiwi businesses. The Government's new Business Investor Visa will give foreign businesspeople who invest at least $2 million into an existing Kiwi business a fast-track to residency. If a business is worth $2 million, the applicant would have to buy it, and if it's worth more, they'd have to invest at least a quarter of its total value. Auckland Business Chamber Chief Executive Simon Bridges told Ryan Bridge this definitely justifies a fast-track to residency. He says the person who buys will have to work on the business for a period of time. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The investment scam made the rounds on Facebook and Instagram and encouraged Kiwis to invest in a vaguely-defined US-based scheme. Gareth Morgan says his daughter showed him the scam - and it almost had him fooled. "The only giveaway is the backdrop, I don't recognise the house behind me.
