## Run a serious board without enterprise overhead

Enterprise board software is built for large corporates with full governance teams. BoardPro gives growing companies the same structure investors, advisors and auditors expect, without the implementation project, the enterprise price tag, or the assumption you've got a governance department to run it.

## Save hours of admin without additional headcount

In most SMEs, board admin lands on someone doing it alongside their day job – the CEO's EA, the office manager, the COO, sometimes the founder. Automatic pack assembly and action tracking save 4–8 hours per cycle. That's strategy time the CEO gets back, a meeting the EA doesn't have to dread, and a headcount you don't need to hire to run governance properly.

Trusted by 30,000+ board members in 38 countries

## Build a board record that stands up to outside scrutiny

When you're raising capital, selling the business, or sitting down with a new bank manager, your board record gets opened. BoardPro keeps signed minutes, every decision, every disclosed interest in one searchable place – built up meeting by meeting, ready when required. No reconstructing history from old email threads the night before due diligence.

## Make decisions between meetings without the email chaos

Bank facility changes and urgent appointments don't always wait for the next meeting. Flying minutes let your board propose, vote and record between-meeting decisions in one place, straight into the Decision register. No reply-all email chain someone has to screenshot for the audit, no "I think we approved that by text" six months later.

> Communication is really important for a board. Since using BoardPro, we've found that it's a lot easier for everyone to communicate through a single portal

## The full governance lifecycle, in one workflow

From agenda to minutes to decisions, BoardPro covers the full meeting cycle and the governance lifecycle around it. No more stitching things together from Word, email and a shared drive that half the board can't access. One platform, every record, every meeting – accessible to your whole board, wherever they are.

## Frequently Asked Questions

Is BoardPro really built for SME boards, or is it scaled-down enterprise software?

BoardPro was built from the ground up for boards in the SME space – most of our commercial customers are growing businesses running boards of five to twelve directors, often including non-executive directors brought in for capital, expertise, or independence. The platform is priced per board (not per director), so adding rotating an advisor in doesn't change the cost. The simplicity, the price point, and the lack of an implementation cycle are what distinguish BoardPro from enterprise platforms like Diligent and BoardEffect, which are built for ASX-listed companies and large enterprises.

What does it cost?

BoardPro is priced per board, not per director – so you can add as many directors and committee members as you need without the cost going up. See the Pricing page for current plan details.

Will the board record hold up to an audit or due diligence review?

Yes. Signed minutes are protected from further editing once confirmed, the Decision Register provides a complete trail of board resolutions, and the Interest Register captures conflicts as they're disclosed. Whether it's your auditor, your bank, a new director, or a future acquirer asking, the record is ready.

Do we need a dedicated company secretary to use BoardPro?

No. Most of our SME customers don't have one – board admin sits with the CEO's EA, the office manager, the COO, or the founder. BoardPro is built so one person without a governance background can run the whole meeting cycle, with the platform handling the parts (minutes formatting, decision tracking, action follow-up) that usually need someone experienced. For many SMEs, BoardPro is what spares them from hiring a CoSec as the board grows.

How quickly can we be up and running?

Most boards run their first BoardPro meeting within a week of signing up. There's no implementation project, no IT involvement required, and no training course – your administrator configures the board, your directors log in, and the next meeting runs in BoardPro.

How does BoardPro handle decisions made between meetings?

Flying Minutes – also known as circular resolutions – let your board propose, vote on, and record a between-meeting decision in one place, with the result flowing straight into the Decision Register. Useful when capex approvals, bank facility changes, or urgent appointments can't wait for the next scheduled meeting.

Is BoardPro secure enough for confidential board matters?

Yes. Documents stay inside BoardPro rather than being sent as email attachments – directors log in to access them. Permissions are configurable at the board, sub-committee and folder level, and signed minutes are protected from further editing once confirmed.
