Welcome to your boardroom education.

Every corporation has at least some of the legal rights and responsibilities enjoyed by natural persons. As the brain can be said to govern a person’s actions, a board of directors governs the actions of a corporation. Leaving aside some legal nuances, the same can be said of the manager of an LLC.

Publicly listed companies have active boards by law. Historically, many private companies have not. That has been changing rapidly over the past decade.

Whether you're a solo entrepreneur or one of several owners in a business, significant benefits may be derived from the establishment of a board. But where does one start? What questions need to be asked and answered?

Maybe you've recently been asked to serve on a board. But what does that even mean? What kind of due diligence should you do before answering? 

This series answers those questions as more. In this complimentary first episode, we give you an overview of what's to come, discuss the benefits of having a board of directors, and get the ball rolling.
