Governance and Directorship for Family Business
This is the only governance and directorship course specifically designed for family businesses. You will learn how to navigate the unique challenges directors face, balancing the interests of family, business and shareholders.
The course covers how to establish and maintain appropriate governance structures, understand your director duties, and implement strategies to meet your family business' specific needs.
Governance and directorship in a family business is complex. Family business directors must juggle the dynamics between family members, business demands, and shareholder expectations, all while ensuring the business thrives. A well-structured governance system can facilitate open communication, reduce internal conflicts, and promote long-term sustainability for your family business.
This course is designed to equip family business owners, directors, and key stakeholders with the tools and knowledge they need to professionalise the governance of their family business and ensure its future success. You will gain a thorough understanding of business and family governance principles, how to establish an effective board structure, and the legal obligations of directors in your family business.
