Board Advisory Services
An outside view on the big decisions, with or without a board.
Board advisory gives owners, founders and CEOs what a good board gives: an outside view on a few big decisions, hard questions before you decide, and someone who keeps watching. In a business with no board it runs as board style meetings, with no legal duties and no share in the company.

Does This Sound Familiar?
The big decisions sit with me alone, and nobody really challenges them.
My team is too close to the problems to see them from outside.
We have a board on paper, but it does not help us decide.
I am starting to think about who will run the business after me.
Sound familiar? The first conversation is free.

Beautician
After I finished a cosmetology course at a leading company, I was confused. I didn't know how to open a business, what to sell from home, or how to bring in clients. Since I reached out to Mobius, everything has changed. We built an organized plan with clear steps and no unnecessary risks. Today I see results, and I'm growing and developing every month.

When I finished a massage course, I imagined a different world. I found out it's a hard field, and financial stability isn't easy to find. When I came to Mobius, something changed. We started an organized process and built a business plan. Without Mobius? I probably would have given up. Today I believe in myself and in my own path.
What you get
An outside view on the big decisions
A loan or an investment, a key hire, prices and margin (what you keep from each sale), a new market: each one looked at from outside before you commit.
Risks seen in time
The plans ahead and what they rest on are tested before the decision, so risks the team is too close to see come up while there is still time to act.
Not deciding alone
The big decisions no longer sit with you alone, you have someone who knows the business to test them against.
Along the way you get the supporting and guiding materials the work needs, with clear instructions.
Simplified illustration
Where a board's attention goes
In this example the least watched area is the next generation: who runs the business after the founder.
Five areas a board watches: the strategy, the money, the risks, the people and the next generation. The shape shows how much attention one example company gives each area, and the one it watches least is lit.
Simplified. Real board work brings a few big decisions to each meeting, on an agenda agreed in advance, prepares the hard questions before anyone sits down, and tests the plans ahead and what they rest on before the decision.

What the work can include
You do not need all of it. In the first conversation we choose together the parts your business needs.
- For a business with no board, board style meetings, with no legal duties and no share in the company.
- A few big decisions per meeting, on an agenda agreed with you in advance, with the hard questions prepared before we sit down.
- In a company that has a board, or is forming one, I can take a working seat on it as part of the consulting, only with real work in the seat and directors and officers insurance in place, never as a name on paper.
- Between meetings I stay available, like ongoing consulting.
- I work with startups and growing companies whose investors expect an outside view or a board member.
- I help pass the business to the next generation: planning the transfer of the business and its assets, what limits it, and training the successors so they receive a business they can keep safe. Family businesses and succession
- I completed a directors and officeholders course, so the duties of a board member are familiar ground for me.
How the work goes
A free first conversation
We talk, see whether my work fits what your business needs, and I suggest the kind of work that suits you.
Understanding the company and its decisions
Who owns the company, who decides today, whether there is a board, and which big decisions are on the table.
Choosing the format
Together we decide how it runs: board style meetings for a business without a board, or a working seat on the board you have, and which decisions come to the table.
The ongoing work
We meet as often as the business needs. Between meetings you can send me a short question on WhatsApp, and I reply as soon as I can.
Want to see how these steps would look for you? That is what the first conversation is for.

- The big decisions ahead of you in the coming months
- Who owns the company and who takes part in the decisions today
Who it fits
- A private or family company where the big decisions sit with one or two people.
- A startup or a growing company whose investors expect an outside view or a board member.
- A family business preparing the next generation to take over.
When is it better to start elsewhere?
If the daily decisions are stuck because the team brings everything to you.

You work directly with me, and I stay your point of contact throughout the work.
- How does it start?
- With a free first conversation of 15 to 30 minutes, by phone or by video. In it we name the problem and shape the work around it. It is not where the answer is handed over. The answer comes out of the work that follows.
- How long before I see results?
- Not from the first meeting, and not from the first few. First we have to understand where the business really stands, so the effort goes only where it works and nothing that already works gets broken. When measurable, steady results come depends on the business and on the pace of the work. After a first conversation I can tell you what to expect in your field.
- How much of my time will it take?
- A meeting of about an hour, as often as the business needs, and a little more at the start while I learn the business. The rest is carrying out the plan, and that is work you would be doing in your business anyway, not time spent in meetings.
- Do my books have to be in order first?
- No. Paperwork is an important tool, but it is not a condition for starting. We begin from where things stand today and put the papers in order along the way, so the work never waits for them.
- What happens to the numbers I show you?
- Whatever you show me about your business stays between the two of us, exactly as it does for every other client of mine.
- What kinds of businesses do you work with?
- I have worked with self-employed professionals, small businesses and startups, in beauty and wellness, the trades, food, retail, manufacturing, education, hi-tech and real estate investment, in Israel and abroad. Your trade matters less than your stage. A bakery and a software company at the same stage are usually stuck on the same thing.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a formal board, or is an outside advisor enough?
For most small and growing businesses an outside advisor is enough. A formal board brings governance duties, minutes and often a share in the company, which fits a company at a later stage. Board style advisory gives most of the benefit, an experienced outside view, structured challenge and clear responsibility, without the legal weight. The right format also depends on who else sits at the table. With investors or partners, a proper board matters more. When the decisions sit mainly with you, board style meetings usually do the job.
Can you sit on our board?
Yes, as part of the consulting. When a company has a board, or wants to form one, I can take a seat and do the board's work: prepare, ask the hard questions and take part in the decisions. I take a seat only when there is real work in it and directors and officers insurance is in place. A name on paper only is not something I agree to.
Can you challenge decisions without taking control from management?
Yes, and that boundary is the heart of the role. My job is to make decisions sharper, not to replace the people responsible for them. In practice that means asking the questions management would ask if it had the time and the distance, and bringing up the risks the team is too close to see. The decision stays with the founder, the CEO or the owner. When I disagree, I say so plainly, so the decision is made with the full picture.
Which topics belong in a board meeting?
A few strategic decisions, not a tour of every department. Typical ones: the plans ahead and the assumptions behind them, money decisions such as raising capital, taking a loan or how much the owners take out, key hires and the shape of the team, prices and margin, a new market or product, and serious risks the team plays down. Day to day operations and small tactical questions belong to management, not to the board table.
Can you help pass the business to the next generation?
Yes, it is part of this work. It means planning how the business and its assets pass on and what limits that transfer, training the next generation for the role, and setting things up so they receive a business they can keep safe. The legal and tax side stays with your lawyer and your accountant, and the business side is where I come in.
How is this different from strategic consulting?
Strategic consulting is an ongoing partnership on all the decisions of the business, big and small. Board advisory focuses on the few big decisions, at the level a board would look at them, and it can include a working seat on your board. Some owners start with one and add the other later.
