What owner-managers owe their own board pack
If you are both chair and chief executive, the papers you prepare for yourself still need the same discipline you would demand from any other director.

Cedar Hub Board Advisory
Standing counsel for owner-managed companies that need board-level challenge without building a full independent board.
The work
Board discipline for businesses still run by their owners
We sit with founders and family owners who remain in the chair — sharpening papers, holding a monthly cadence, and keeping capital and succession conversations on the record.
Advisory work
What you can commission
Each engagement is delivered by a Cedar Hub principal. Start with a standing retainer, or open with a review or briefing when a single decision is pressing.
Owner-Manager Board Advisory
A standing advisory seat for owner-managed companies that need disciplined board-level challenge without a full independent board.
Board Readiness Review
A fixed-scope assessment of how owner-managed companies prepare decisions, record them, and hold leadership accountable.
Succession & Ownership Sessions
Facilitated sessions that help family and co-owners name succession paths, voting rights, and timelines before pressure forces the conversation.
Capital Decision Briefings
Focused briefings before major capital outlays, acquisitions, or debt facilities so the owner enters lender and partner meetings with clear papers.
From clients
“Monthly sessions keep my brother and me from reopening the same ownership arguments. Notes arrive the same week, with actions named against people rather than vague intentions.”Daniel Vu · Co-owner, Alpine Supply Co. · Owner-Manager Board Advisory
How we work
Papers first. Then the conversation.
Sessions start from written packs circulated days ahead. We focus on ownership rights, capital floors, succession timing, and the few decisions that change the company’s shape — not on daily operations.
