An Introduction to Responsibilities and Liabilities for Directors of Small Businesses

Being a director is more than signing your name on the company registration form.

If you get it wrong your personal assets might not be as safe as you think.

Learn:

• The 15 reasons you can be fined $5000, 31 reasons you can be fined $10 000 even when the other Directors caused the problems!
• How a friend of a company owner was found liable to repay almost $1 million of losses because his “friend” didn’t tell him everything when he asked him to become a director
• Why recent legal decisions mean the courts insist that “silent” or “sleeping” partners must be involved in the business
• How to test whether your company meets the solvency test
• Who can and can’t be a director?
• How you aren’t necessarily  protected because you have a Limited Liability company when you are the Director
• What a “deemed” Director is and how your company advisors may really be directors of your company (or you may be a director and didn’t realise it!)
• Proposed changes to make the law even more stringent.
