Many small businesses do not have access to experienced and expert non-executive directors. A Virtual Director - acting at Board level without needing to be appointed as a director - can make a huge difference.

What is a Virtual Director?

A consultant who provides the benefit of their experience at Board level, without the need to employ anyone or appoint them as a director at Companies House.

Why not just appoint a new Director?
You could do. But then you are stuck with them. A Virtual Director can be a flexible alternative. They can add experience and expertise for just as long as you need them. There is no contract, no additional salary, no National Insurance, nor pension contributions required.

Are there risks?
There are risks in all aspects of business. However, a Virtual Director helps to reduce or mitigate some of the risks of making a new appointment to the Board. It is like having an expert on tap. You might not need the expertise every day (and be paying for it too). Imagine being able to call upon that level of expertise just when you need it.

What sort of skills might they add to your organisation?

• Providing a strategic vision for the organisation
• Introduce best practice in decision-making
• Setting up, chairing, and minuting Board Meetings
• Preparing your business to be 'ready-for-sale'
• Providing expert advice in marketing, researching, and industry accreditations (e.g. ISO)

Where do I operate?

Just about anywhere in the North West of England. I am based in Southport, so Merseyside, Lancashire, and Greater Manchester are within my area of operation.
