Corporate Governance
Business owners protect their assets with Windsor’s Corporate Governance expertise.
A privately-held business is generally the shareholder’s largest financial asset within his or her personal net worth. Most business owners expect that the business will eventually serve as a means of wealth creation and retirement income. Windsor serves as a corporate sounding board to owners and also sits as a director on several boards of directors and advisory boards. In this role our focus is on protecting the enterprise value of the business so that it remains a valuable asset to the business owner.
Shareholders of a business should consider establishing a board for these services if contemplating or confronting the following considerations:
How does the business compare to industry benchmarks?
Could the board or ownership group benefit from an impartial advisor?
Do you know how you will exit from the business one day?
Could a new owner replicate the same business without you?
Is there a succession plan in place for key managers & supervisors?
How will the value of the business change should it emphasize different business lines?
