So, maybe you’re growing and aren’t sure where to go next, recognise that you need some advice from the experts but don’t know who to look to, or have big, bold plans for your business, and want to learn more about ways to fuel its growth… Well, episode 12 of our podcast is full of insights that relate to this, and more!

Here Sharon spoke with Troy Trewin, a chairman, advisor and businessman, who is also the founder of Grow A Small Business. Some of the topics they cover include:

• Troy’s varied and successful entrepreneurial journey from childhood, through to launching businesses overseas, operating distilleries in Australia and NZ, and running Grow A Small Business.
• What is meant by the term shareholder, including the value they can bring to a business, what they own, and what their role is.
• What to look for in a shareholder, including Troy’s notion of active vs. passive money.
• The importance of a shareholder agreement, and looking to legal experts to create them.
• How to know if and when seeking the support of shareholders is right for you.
• Tips for getting shareholders on board (a solid pitch is a must, as is financial modelling!)
• Troy’s notion of ‘agile corp governance,’ and its value.
