"Excellent additional police": Businesses back new investor visa

More foreign investors could soon flock in to work hard on Kiwi businesses.

If a business is worth $2 million, the applicant would have to buy it, and if it's worth more, they'd have to invest at least a quarter of its total value.

He says the person who buys will have to work on the business for a period of time.
