A Non-Executive Director can be even more important to a business run by a homeworker than to a traditional office-bound company.  Often these businesses enjoy high growth and draw in skills from friends and family before taking on full-time employees so they cover a lot of ground through a small team. 

There is no denying that homeworking is affecting almost every area of business and by embracing technology it is an extremely efficient and well-balanced way of running a successful business.

It can, however, be invaluable to have somebody available to give advice on the industry, on the markets, on developing the company, on your services and products, or on coping with high growth.  A Non-Executive Director or Non-Exec Chairman can provide that vital link to your wider business community which you can’t afford to leave behind when you take up the benefits of working from home.

I’m currently reading a great book by Emma Jones of Enterprise Nation called “Spare Room Start Up: How To Start A Business From Home” (click here for the Amazon page).  It’s full of useful hints and tips for new homeworkers and it’s well worth a read.

If you’re running your business from home there is no reason why you can’t also enjoy the support and added value of a Non-Executive Director.  They can not only play a role in the business but also act as a personal mentor and coach to you as a business leader.

If you would like to see a shortlist of Non-Executive Directors who are suitable for your business then do please read our pages for companies and make contact so we can discuss your needs.
