The Alternative Board (TAB)

Share challenges, solve problems,
and grow together.

Join like-minded local SME owners for informal and insightful monthly board meetings – an alternative board of directors. With expert advice from our team of business advisors, it’s like having an entire team of non-exec directors on hand.

Together we’ll give you the perspective and accountability to make better decisions and achieve your goals faster.
