A Non Exec Director / Board Advisor, acts as an independent advisor, monitoring & constructively challenging the assumptions & decisions made by the management team.

In a larger organization, or an investor-backed business, they are the 'eyes & ears' of the shareholders & other key stakeholders.  In a smaller business, they act more like the bridge, guiding the owner-manager, to their desired destination.

A Non Exec Advisor, sits on the advisory board, but they are not an employee, and do not engage in the day-to-day management of the business.  They are independent & impartial, bringing a wide experience, & specialist knowledge to the business, that wouldn't normally be available through other channels.

Acting as a sounding board, whilst playing devils advocate

Designed around our own needs

We are not a business coaching network.   It's important to find Non Exec Board Advisors, with the relevant experience to suit your industry.  Experienced people that have already walked the path.  It's very common to find, a business coach with little, or no experience at running a business, rebranding themselves as Non Exec Directors.  This offers very little value to a business.  It requires a very different set of skills & mindset.

We've created our Non Exec Board Advisor offering, based on what we want, as investors in small businesses.

5.  What's the difference between a Board Advisor, & a Non Exec Director?

A Non Exec Board Advisor, performs the same duties as a Non Exec Director, however doesn't hold the same personal liability.  Due to the current state of the economy, & the inability to control each businesses day-to-day operations, we feel the traditional Non Exec Director model carries too much risk
