Young people are increasingly looking at options outside New Zealand for their tertiary education.

Local company Crimson Consulting was set up three years ago to help students with the application process for overseas universities.

Shandre Kushor co-founded the business when she was 18, with Jamie Beaton, who was applying to Harvard University at the time.
