It seems Kiwi entrepreneurs have high hopes for the future...with many looking to start a new business.

A Global Entrepreneur Indicator survey shows kiwi entrepreneurship, in the six months ending August 31, has been more profitable and has hired more staff.

The survey also shows 93 percent of these entrepreneurs are inclined to start a new business.

Entrepreneurs Organisation Auckland spokesman James McGlinn says this shows just how hard-working Kiwis are.

He says it's great to see over 90 percent are prepared to give a new business a go.
