Spokesman James McGlin says the classic Kiwi entrepreneurial spirit is thriving, with 94 percent saying they're inclined to start a new business.

"It's very easy to start a new business here in New Zealand compared to many many places worldwide.

"In fact, New Zealand is consistently ranked one of the easiest places, if not the easiest place, to start a new business."
