How we approach it
Frequently asked questions
Does a private company need formal governance?
Increasingly yes — investors and lenders expect it, and it prevents disputes as you grow.
What committees might we need?
This depends on size and status; we map the required and advisable committees for you.
What are Secretarial Standards?
ICSI-issued standards on board and general meetings that companies are expected to follow.
What's the difference between mandatory and voluntary governance practices?
Mandatory practices, like statutory committees for listed or large companies, are legally required; voluntary ones, like an audit committee for a growing private company, are adopted for credibility and risk management even without a legal mandate.
How does governance affect valuation or fundraising?
Investors often factor governance maturity into due diligence and sometimes valuation — clean board processes and documented policies signal lower risk.
Can governance structures be scaled down as the company shrinks?
Yes, governance frameworks can be right-sized, though certain statutory requirements remain fixed regardless of company size once triggered.
