Governance360, the complete governance operating system for small organisations, today announces a significant upgrade to its Multi-Entity Management capabilities, designed specifically for board administrators, portfolio directors and trustees and non-executive directors managing their time and attendance across multiple boards and organisations.
The enhanced feature addresses a growing challenge they face: the increasing complexity of managing their time and workflow across multiple entities. Whether overseeing a holding company with subsidiaries, managing the governance and board process for a trading subsidiary of a Charity, serving as a trustee across several organisations, or operating as a portfolio investor attending board meetings across multiple investments, those managing governance responsibilities often struggle with fragmented systems, multiple email accounts, and disconnected cloud storage silos.
“We’ve seen first-hand how board administrators and portfolio directors are juggling governance responsibilities across multiple organisations, often using separate email accounts, different cloud storage locations, and fragmented spreadsheets,” explains Clive Bawden, Founder of Governance360. “Add in switching between Teams and Zoom meetings on a regular schedule, and the result is duplicated effort, missed deadlines, and unnecessary administrative burden. Our upgraded Multi-Entity Management feature eliminates this complexity by providing a single, unified dashboard for all governance activities.”
The upgraded feature allows users to seamlessly switch between multiple boards and organisations within a single platform, maintaining clear oversight of meetings, actions, risk registers, and compliance requirements across all entities. Users can quickly identify upcoming deadlines, outstanding actions, and governance priorities across their entire portfolio. Crucially, the platform provides a consistent format across all organisations, enabling users to locate information quickly regardless of which board they’re accessing—eliminating the cognitive load of navigating different systems and folder structures.
Importantly, the platform automatically recognises different permission levels across organisations, ensuring robust security without compromising efficiency. An administrator on one board who serves as a standard member on another will automatically have the appropriate access rights for each organisation—eliminating security concerns whilst maintaining the convenience of a unified system.
Key benefits include consolidated visibility of all board activities, streamlined administration with no need for multiple logins or email accounts, and significant time savings through centralised document management and action tracking. The upgrade is particularly valuable for portfolio investors managing board attendance across multiple investments, and charity sector professionals managing both charitable entities and trading subsidiaries, where maintaining clear governance separation whilst ensuring efficient oversight is critical.
“This development reinforces our commitment to serving organisations with under £15 million revenue who need enterprise-grade governance tools without the enterprise complexity or cost,” adds Bawden. “Portfolio directors, investors, and volunteers deserve better tools than email chains and Excel spreadsheets scattered across multiple platforms.”
The upgraded Multi-Entity Management feature is available now to all Governance360 users.
