FRANCHISEE, Fractional C-Suite and Part-Time Director service

Background Information

Board Advisors provide an excellent solution for ambitious businesses looking for growth, profitability and stability.

Increasing numbers of senior level people are turning to a portfolio career, seeking to have more control over their lives and freedom from life within a large corporate environment.

Expansion

Our aim is to continue increasing our market penetration throughout the world and therefore, we seek ambitious individuals capable of growing with us as Master Licensees in different countries.

Our Business

We operate within the Scale-Up marketplace servicing companies that ideally have between 10 and 1000 staff and likely $2m - $100m turnover although we do mentor some smaller businesses.

We work directly with the business owners as part of the Board team on a long-term, on-going basis. We also work with VCs, PEs and Funds with their portfolio companies as well as family businesses. Typically, this takes the form of working within each business between 1-10 days a month.

Our approach is to provide the highest quality Board Advisor skill set, with a strong emphasis on strategic and commercial skills, and to pro-actively engage with business owners to deliver terrific value.

We are sector agnostic and provide Director-level expert skills in finance, marketing, sales, IT, HR and Managing. We also supply Non-Executive Directors, Chairs, Mentors and Coaches.

Tasks What is the arrangement for Master Licensees?

Master Licensees have exclusive territorial rights to using the Boardroom Advisors brand, web site, case studies, business model, marketing systems, processes etc for a period of years. We provide initial induction, training and ongoing support starting with weekly meetings and phasing over to monthly Board Meetings over time where we provide strategic help and advice.

In exchange for helping to get the business up and running, we ask for a small initial commitment fee, a 10% royalty and a 10% shareholding in the licensee company. This ensures long-term commitment from the “parent” company in the success of the licensee.

How do you deliver your services to a business?

Following the initial meeting with a prospect business by a Regional Director,

Boardroom Advisors introduces the appropriate Advisor to the business owner and ascertains the objectives and anticipated outcomes.

Work is on an agreed package or number of days per month; or occasionally the delivery is an initial project with the opportunity to develop into a package or on-going days per month engagement.

For each business there is a lead Advisor and a Regional Director. This team approach helps foster a stronger B2B relationship and business loyalty.

What type of work does Boardroom Advisors undertake?

Our work covers all aspects of a Board Advisor role in a successful business. Our aim is to

establish long-term involvement with a business, generating regular income streams, rather

than work on projects. Engagements are extremely varied and dependent upon the business

needs and the stage of development the company has reached. Some examples of work the

client has as a “trigger” to dealing with us and we might undertake as part of the

appointment as Advisor include :

➢ Strategy development

➢ Performance review

➢ Systems development

➢ Funding analysis

➢ Outsourcing and supplier analysis

➢ Pricing review

➢ Growth planning

➢ Staffing structure analysis

➢ Board salary reviews
