AGM
The once-a-year moment of honesty: here’s what happened, here’s the money, here’s what’s next — and why skipping it is an avoidable red flag.

The once-a-year moment of honesty: here’s what happened, here’s the money, here’s what’s next — and why skipping it is an avoidable red flag.
SA company law requires fewer meetings than most directors fear — but when you must meet, doing it properly really matters.
Handled properly, a conflict of interest is a Tuesday. Handled badly, it’s the story that ends up in front of a funder, a journalist, or a court.
Minutes tell the story; resolutions are the legally binding punchline. Ordinary vs special, round-robins, and when you actually need one.
