Why SMEs Need Corporate Governance

​Corporate governance isn’t just for big corporations. SMEs that adopt strong governance practices covering purpose, culture, board performance, risk management, and internal controls can improve resilience, accountability, and growth. While formal codes may not apply, tailored frameworks help SMEs build credibility, safeguard resources, and strengthen long-term sustainability, positioning them as key contributors to economic success.

Corporate Governance for SME Growth

Many small business owners think corporate governance is only for large companies, but a simple framework brings discipline, structure, and accountability. By starting small with a mentor or management team, entrepreneurs can create clarity, improve decision making, and grow sustainably. Governance ensures transparency, ethical practices, and profitability, helping SMEs expand without unnecessary risk.
