National is offering a cash package of up to $30,000 for people who've lost their jobs and want to start their own business - the catch - most of it would come from their own KiwiSaver funds.

Judith Collins has unveiled the BusinessStart scheme to help offset the economic damage wrought by Covid, with thousands of of people finding themselves out of work, and looking for ways they can once again start earning money for themselves.

RNZ political editor Jane Patterson has the details.
