Appointing and Advisory Board is the big step from running a small advice business providing a good lifestyle to running a practice that leverages you. An Advisory Board should mean bringing in the outside expertise and accountability that your owner-operated busines doesn’t have…and needs if it is to grow.

A little reflection and self-analysis is the first step as you have to understand what business skills or knowledge your business is currently lacking in, and perhaps most importantly, your own style. Your business has been built around you, so your style of business management needs to be complemented wherever possible by your governance team.
Then there are only a few big decision points in getting the process moving ahead. The size of the board, the particular experience or skill set needed, and where to begin looking for board members.
