Serving as a company director involves major obligations across a range of legal, financial, and operational domains yet many people accept the role without fully understanding or considering the consequences.
From statutory duties to shareholders to liability risks, the role comes with significant responsibilities that demand competence and diligent governance. Without adequate knowledge, directors can easily run afoul of regulations or make decisions detrimental to the company’s interests. This can result in allegations and significant potential liabilities, particularly if a business is experiencing financial difficulty.
