For Business Owners
Providing solutions for liquidity, authenticity and transparency for your business.
At Local Knowledge we understand the position founders, entrepreneurs and owners feel when they decide to consider the question of unlisted vs listed. Having participated in both sides over the past 35 years, the decision to be part of a listed company becomes more emotional than staying with the unlisted structure. That is why we created Local Knowledge.
Local Knowledge provides the resources, insights and guidance that provides business with all the resources and support to function with great corporate governance with the flexibility, transparency and control of an unlisted company. Having undertaken the corporate secretarial, governance and compliance of both unlisted and unlisted, we recognise that there are no shortcuts. Both situations involve the same due diligence.
Then you ask what is the most significant difference between having my business as an unlisted company vs listed company. This is many cases is the liquidity of shareholdings and the demand for the market to show an easy, simple and transparent and authentic way of showing price transparency.
With now greater scrutiny across all asset classes whether listed or unlisted, it is important that all corporate governance is maintained in a fit and proper manner.
This is where Local Knowledge can assist companies with the use of business technology we are able to provide the transparency, authenticity and immutable record keeping to ensure that your unlisted company can perform and function and maintain good corporate governance the same as required by listed companies.

Are you at risk of a cyber attack? Is your business already being threatened? Is your cyber security sufficient enough to minimise and reduce the financial, market and corporate vulnerability?
If you have a cybersecurity strategy then great. Keep it up to date, keep managing and utilise it as a corporate asset of the business. When looking to raise new capital, creating secondary market liquidity or the possibility of a trade sale or maybe a listing on a Stock Exchange, the business will need to ensure that they a robust, manageable and detailed cybersecurity procedure and policy.
Why do you ask? In the event, a cyber attack occurs while you are undergoing any corporate activity from raising to due diligence or listing the process will have to cease to update potential investors, buyers and regulators will want to know the financial impact and breach of any private data. Confidence will be reduced, the damage needs to be assessed and rectification of any breaches.
MyMoney understands cyber risk. We have established a dedicated company called BCyber® just for the role and job. As a dedicated cybersecurity business, the company has access to specialised cybersecurity insurance, technologist and market leading software specialist.
