Skills and training for directors and owners

Skills and training for company directors

When you take on the role of a company director you take on very clearly-defined responsibilities.

An obvious responsibility is ensuring that certain documents, such as annual returns, are filed with Companies House. This may not sound onerous but each year more than 1,000 directors are prosecuted for failing to do it. Read about the role of a company director on the Companies House website.

There are other legal obligations for company directors, particularly those of listed companies.

But there are also non-legal ones, such as the requirements to form strategy and to manage your team well, which are necessary to ensure your business succeeds.

See the pages in this guide on key skills for owners: strategy and on key skills for owners: managing your team.

Training can prove very helpful for building both legal and non-legal skills areas.
