Kaitorete Trade Services is a registered contracting business based at Little River — structured for Banks Peninsula delivery work. Class 4 licensed, insured, GST registered, and set up to run a contract from day one.
Based at the western end of the Peninsula, covering Akaroa and surrounds. These are not unfamiliar roads — they are the daily commute.
The business structure, vehicles, insurance, and invoicing are all in place. Nothing needs to be arranged on your end before the contract starts — that's the point of working with a contractor rather than taking on an employee.
Full NZ driving entitlement including Class 4 equivalency via Australian HR licence. Rural terrain and Peninsula roads are familiar ground.
