A project by VIATRIX DIGITAL · Selwyn, Canterbury
One programme. All five steps. A local team beside you.
Starting a business means a dozen decisions you've never made before. Day Won turns them into one clear roadmap, so nothing gets missed and you don't pay for things you don't need yet.
Registered
Choose your structure, get your NZBN, and understand IRD and GST, with an introduction to an accountant partner for tax advice.
Business email on your own domain with Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, set up so it lands in inboxes, not spam.
Accounts
A separate business bank account, accounting software with a bank feed, branded invoices and easy ways to get paid.
Domain
Your .nz domain, a simple website that works on phones, and a Google Business Profile so locals can find you.
You're open!
Multi-factor sign-in, backups, a first-day launch plan, and a 30-day check-in to fix anything that isn't working.
We set up the tech. For tax and legal advice on your situation, we'll introduce you to our local accountant and professional partners.

Hi, I'm Teresa, founder of Viatrix Digital and Day Won
I'm a career service-desk and ITSM specialist, now working directly with small businesses through Viatrix Digital. I've supported people across the Philippines, Singapore and New Zealand, and led a 24×7 managed services helpdesk team.
I started Day Won because I kept meeting people with great business ideas who were stuck on the tech and admin. No one in Selwyn should start a business feeling lost. I'll help you set things up properly, explain it simply, and celebrate your first win with you.
