You’ve either clicked this link because you would like to enter the Inspire Business Awards or because you want to better understand the benefit and value that having a NED or Board Advisor should bring (or possibly both)

This short and concise event will explain how successful Board Advisors can make a real difference to your business. It will showcase the Inspire Business Awards (including an understanding of the application process section) which provide a real opportunity to win that support free of charge for a year.

Why on earth would you want Board level advice in your business?

You might think that setting up a board is something relevant for large Companies rather than for your small business, but this couldn’t be further from the truth.

No business is too small to benefit from having board level advice. In fact, it’s such a powerful management tool that no ambitious small business should be without it. It will be your sounding board, a source of ideas and expertise. It will fill any knowledge gaps with expert help, innovate and challenge your thinking; and help you make contacts you wouldn’t otherwise make.

Finding and appointing one would normally be a painstaking and expensive process. So Inspire have put together a package of Board level support with an impressive group of highly experienced business people who have grown and successfully exited their own businesses and are now committed to helping other small businesses break through and succeed. You could have a full Board of Advisors which would cost you less than your lowest paid member of staff. If you enter and win an award, it could even be free for 12 months!
