Business Owner Transition is a method of exiting and growing a private business, over time, to an external talented person with capital.

Governance
Good business/corporate governance means thinking about strategic issues, rather than the operational day-to-day running of the business. Governance applies to all companies, big and small.
Robust governance ensures accountability, transparency, and strategic oversight, fostering trust among stakeholders. It helps organizations manage risks effectively, improve decision-making, and align actions with long-term goals.
By promoting ethical practices and regulatory compliance, robust governance enhances reputation, operational efficiency, and sustainability, ultimately driving organizational success and growth.
Appropriate governance in even small organisations is critical to business sustainability and profitability.
