GROWING
BUSINESS

The Growth of
The Company is an
EVOLUTIONARY Process

many never grow much


beyond the initial founding
stages and remain as small
family businesses,

but those which do grow may


do so in steps >>>>
Initially the small company has
simple structures and procedures
dominated by the owner-managers

who take all the decisions.

The larger and more complex the


entity grows, the more difficult it is
for the solo entrepreneur to keep
track of everything so they have to
begin delegating powers and
responsibility to others who may not
be family members.

These individuals have to have real


authority to be effective so are
appointed as directors, thus there
has to be a formal board structure.

As the company grows, the need for


more independent advice becomes

apparent and so non-executive


directors start to be recruited.

And so the company evolves, and the


governance structures with it.
ADOPTION OF KEY
PRINCIPLES OF GCG

The development of effective
governance processes may:

The result may be improved leadership, decision making


and strategic vision. Improved governance may also make it
easier to monitor and manage the various risks to which the
company is exposed, particularly as it grows in size and
complexity.
Governance will become an
increasing issue for unlisted

GOVERNANCE companies as they develop new


sources of finance.

& FINANCE Initially, the primary source of funds


is likely to be retained earnings or
financing from internal networks, eg
families or associated corporate
groups.

However, unlisted companies may


also turn to banks, venture capitalists
and private equity investors in order
to finance their expansion and
growth.

A greater reliance on such external


sources of finance will necessitate
the implementation of a more
explicit governance framework, as
external financiers seek assurance
that their investments will be well
managed.
