360 Underwriting Solutions has expanded its footprint in New Zealand with the launch of a new office in Christchurch.
The company’s latest location, situated at Level 1, 100 Moorehouse Avenue in Addington, is intended to enhance support for insurance brokers and clients throughout the South Island.
According to the company, the Christchurch office is designed to encourage collaboration among staff and foster stronger relationships with local brokers.
The space is intended to serve both as a client meeting point and as a workplace for employees, reflecting the company’s focus on building connections and delivering consistent service.
“Our new space is designed to foster collaboration, innovation, and connection – reflecting our values of Solutions you want, Service you expert, People you know,” the company said in a statement.
The company added that the new office is part of a broader strategy to deepen engagement with the regional broker community.
“Whether it’s creating a welcoming space for clients or an inspiring environment for our team, this new chapter lays the foundation for further strengthening our partnerships with South Island brokers,” it said.
The timing of the Christchurch office opening coincides with recent findings that position New Zealand among the most accessible business environments in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Global Business Complexity Index (GBCI) 2025 by TMF Group ranked New Zealand and Hong Kong as the most straightforward markets for conducting business in APAC.
On the GBCI, New Zealand and Hong Kong are placed 76th and 77th respectively, with higher rankings indicating lower complexity.
Both countries are listed among the top 10 globally for ease of doing business.
TMF Group pointed to Hong Kong’s streamlined tax system and limited administrative requirements as key reasons for its ranking.
New Zealand’s regulatory environment is cited as supportive of foreign investment and operational transparency.
While New Zealand and Hong Kong are recognised for their business-friendly frameworks, other Asia-Pacific markets are experiencing increased regulatory demands.
Mainland China is now among the 10 most complex jurisdictions worldwide, according to the GBCI, due to ongoing regulatory changes and significant regional differences in rule implementation.
India, ranked 18th, has introduced compliance reforms aimed at improving transparency and governance. These changes are expected to yield long-term benefits, though they have resulted in greater short-term operational requirements for businesses.
Japan’s position improved to 43rd from 38th in the previous year, reflecting gradual enhancements such as broader English-language support for international firms.
Singapore is ranked 48th, with its standing supported by investments in digital infrastructure and improvements in trade connectivity.
