You still use Gmail for work. That looks cheap. Clients notice.
The Problem for NZ Firms
Joe’s Cafe used [email protected]. They lost a big catering deal. The client chose a rival with a pro email.

A free biz email boosts trust. It cuts spam fears. It looks legit.
Think of it like a sharp suit. It makes you look bigger. It wins jobs.
Why Kiwis Should Care

Plus, NZ law needs clear sender IDs. A biz email keeps you legal. No $10k fine.
