Director Ready — Govern Your Company & Stay Out of Personal Liability
Step into the director role with confidence — your duties under the Companies Act, how to govern properly, and how to keep "limited liability" from falling away. For new and aspiring SA company directors.
Exactly what this course covers
Most founders are made directors the day they register — and never learn what they actually signed up for, until something goes wrong. Director Ready is a focused course on carrying the director role properly under the Companies Act 71 of 2008: your duties, how to govern, and how to stay personally protected. Built from our Director’s Handbook.
- What it really means to be a director — authority, the role, and the line between the company and you
- Your fiduciary duties (s76) — good faith, proper purpose, care, skill and diligence, in plain English
- Conflicts of interest & self-dealing (s75) — how to disclose and stay clean
- The personal-liability traps — reckless & fraudulent trading (s22, s77), sureties, trading while insolvent
- Governing well — board vs shareholder powers, resolutions, valid meetings, minutes & statutory registers
- Delinquency & disqualification (s162) — and the habits (records, disclosure, D&O cover) that keep you safe
