A guide to board governance for private businesses

There are many reasons why board governance is essential for private business owners, ranging from selling the business to protecting what has been built.

Entrepreneurs are typically determined and assured. Therefore often the idea for them to need to work with a board of equally strong-willed directors can be overwhelming. However, whether it is elevating a business or taking advice from an experienced business owner, a board of directors can be invaluable to a business and does not have to be an arduous experience.

Here at BoardPro, we have compiled a guide to board governance to help you understand and build a practical and essential part of your business in the simplest, most straightforward manner.

"We use BoardPro for all our meetings and not only is it easy for us, it's proven to be easy to navigate with our not so tech savvy members as well! It's organized, it looks amazing when auditors need to confirm our minutes, and it's just THAT useful. All around amazing!"

"This is an excellent board tool. Mobility, no paper, ease of navigation, brilliant note options. The ability to quickly find previous papers and minutes is also very helpful for accountability."

"BoardPro has proven itself indispensable. The structured approach makes it easy to compile agendas and Board packs and then use this same structure for creating well-organised minutes. Being able to search for previous decisions and minutes, as well as easily keep tabs on actions is fantastic. The reminders that BoardPro sends out keep everyone on task, without the Board Secretary needing to be too involved."

Staying at the top of your professional game! In the past, preparations for Board meetings were a nightmare as there were always literally mountains of paperwork to prepare, photocopy and share with Board members. This was such a tedious task, not to mention not great for the environment. Now, with BoardPro, all meeting documents are virtual and there is no longer any need for photocopying and wasting so much paper. This has cut our meeting cost down significantly.

Completely changed our board meetings! The software drastically improves organization of documents and communication before and after meetings. It gives us a central place for recording and reviewing minutes. We use the action items feature extensively, which automates everything so nothing slips through the cracks. The technical support is impressive.
