Kiwi business experts are lending a helping hand to smaller businesses that need it.

Entrepreneurs and small to medium business owners can go to the Manaaki IO website to get advice from experts during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Technology expert Peter Griffin told Andrew Dickens there are nearly 100 experts in areas including online advertising, cloud computing, and business management.

He says they're offering free consultations on how to get through this period.

"These are some of the top brains in the country, and they will get on a FaceTime call with you and give you some advice."
