Eric went above and beyond during our initial consultation regarding start-up structure and the best way forward. It was an enriching conversation, and I now have much more confidence moving forward in what already feels like a true partnership.

When I was looking to start my disability support business, I came across SBAAS and had the absolute pleasure of working with Eric and Trudi. They were genuinely so lovely from day one. They went above and beyond for me in every way and I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough! I always felt so supported and like I had people in my corner who actually cared about what I was trying to build. They were super easy to talk to, really patient and took the time to understand my vision and what I wanted my business to look like. Nothing ever felt rushed or transactional. Even now, I still feel like I could reach out if I needed help or had questions and they’d be more than happy to help. I'm so grateful for them and everything they did to help me get started. Thank you Eric and Trudi!

As a startup social enterprise, our team of three had never built a business together before, so having the support of Eric and Trudi Allgood from SBAAS has been invaluable. From business planning, policies and procedures through to bookkeeping support and strategic advice, they've helped us put the right foundations in place for sustainable growth. What we love most is that they don't just give advice—they keep us accountable and focused on moving forward. Many of the things we've struggled with as a new business were second nature to them, and their guidance has saved us countless hours, mistakes and headaches. As sponsors and supporters of our community art gallery, they've also been incredibly generous with their time and encouragement. It's clear they genuinely care about helping small businesses succeed. We're incredibly grateful for their support and would highly recommend SBAAS to any business owner looking for experienced advisors who truly have your best interests at heart.

Eric was fantastic to work with throughout the process of developing our policy for working with schools. His knowledge and expertise in this area were evident from the outset, and he was able to explain requirements clearly and provide practical guidance that made the process much easier to navigate. Eric took the time to understand our business, answer our questions, and ensure we had a policy that was both compliant and fit for purpose. I appreciated his professionalism, responsiveness, and willingness to share his knowledge. I would highly recommend Eric to any organisation looking for expert advice and support in this area. Thank you again for your assistance, Eric.

Eric has an exceptional ability to quickly understand the brief, cut through complexity, and take decisive action. As a family-run business navigating a very stressful operational reform to align with licensing regulations, his guidance brought immediate clarity and calm. He provided clear, practical instruction and moved quickly, helping us see a structured path forward when things felt overwhelming. Thanks to his expertise and responsiveness, we were able to implement the required changes efficiently and achieve approval far quicker than expected. I would highly recommend Eric and SBAAS to any small or family-run business needing strong commercial support during complex or high-pressure situations.

Yet another business sending spam. Let's cut to the chase. - No, I have never had a "relationship" with you. - Yes, I have reported to ACMA. - No, I'm not going to unsubscribe. You can't just add me to your spam list and expect me to do the work because you are taking the spam route. - Yes, I have reported you to your mailing list provider, "Constant Contact" - Yes I do give low reviews to all of the spamming businesses that email me. - Don't reply with how much you value privacy etc etc. Just don't spam me. - Eric, you hold yourself out to be a "sort-after speaker", and A visionary leader". Maybe a bit less reliance on spam marketing?

Corporate governance involves the systems, rules, and processes through which a company is controlled and directed.
It is vital for ensuring accountability, fairness, and transparency in a company’s relationship with its stakeholders.

Good governance practices help companies make effective decisions, comply with the law, and meet the needs of stakeholders, thereby enhancing the company’s reputation and long-term success.

A company can improve its governance structure by clearly defining roles and responsibilities for the board, management, and stakeholders. Implementing solid policies and procedures, ensuring board members have the necessary skills and experience, and promoting ethical behaviour and accountability across the organisation are crucial.

Regular reviews and updates of governance practices in response to changes in the business environment or regulatory landscape are essential for maintaining effective governance.

Risk management identifies, assesses, and controls threats to an organisation’s capital and earnings. It is a crucial aspect of governance because it involves the strategic oversight of risks to protect the company’s assets and shareholder value.

Effective risk management supports good governance by ensuring the organization can anticipate and mitigate potential risks before they escalate into more significant problems.

Establishing a practical risk management framework involves identifying the risks that can affect the organisation, assessing their likelihood and potential impact, and implementing mitigation strategies.

In Australia, directors face significant risks for poor governance due to stringent legal and regulatory standards. They are legally obligated to act in the company’s best interest, ensure financial accuracy, and comply with laws and regulations.
Failure to meet these responsibilities can lead to severe consequences, including:

  • Legal Liability: Directors can be personally liable for breaches of their duties, potentially facing legal action, fines, or compensation orders.
  • Reputational Damage: Poor governance can harm the reputation of the company and the directors themselves, affecting trust and confidence among stakeholders, investors, and the public.
  • Financial Loss: Mismanagement or negligence can lead to financial losses for the company, impacting its viability and leading to potential personal financial liability for directors.
  • Regulatory Penalties: Regulators like ASIC (Australian Securities and Investments Commission) and the ATO (Australian Taxation Office) can impose penalties, disqualifications, and other enforcement actions against directors for governance failures.
  • Insolvency Risks: Directors may be held accountable for insolvent trading if they allow the company to incur debts when it cannot pay its debts as and when they fall due.

Directors must understand their responsibilities and ensure robust governance practices to mitigate these risks and safeguard the company and its interests.
