Advice for companies on remunerating NEDs
Many companies are concerned about the financial burden of taking on a Non-Executive Director or Chairman and this article discusses a few of the options that are available. One of the most important things to look for in a non-executive Board member is that they really believe in your plans and genuinely want to help you realise them. If this is the case then alternative forms of remuneration will be open for discussion. On the other hand, you will also have to prove your committment to a Non-Executive Director and if you can’t do that with your passion about the business and your track record, a non-executive Board member may well insist on receiving payment purely to focus your mind on the value that they will bring.

Quoted companies have long recognised the value of a non-exec but, just as the demands of running a smaller business are different, so is the role of an NED or Chairman. (more…)
