Last updated: 15 October 2026
This Disclaimer applies to the BoardroomUK website at boardroomuk.com, including our articles, guides, checklists, interactive tools and downloadable materials. It explains the limits of the information we publish and how you should use it.
Please read it together with our Terms & Conditions, which govern your use of the website and any services you buy from us.
1. General information only
The content on our website is provided for general information and educational purposes. It is intended to help directors, founders and business owners understand topics such as board governance, directors’ duties, fundraising, exit planning, ESG and risk management.
General information cannot take account of your organisation’s particular circumstances, constitution, shareholder arrangements, sector, regulatory position or objectives. You should not act, or refrain from acting, on the basis of anything on our website without first considering whether it is appropriate for you and, where necessary, taking specific professional advice.
2. Not professional advice
2.1 No legal advice
Our content may refer to legislation, such as the Companies Act 2006, and to codes and guidance, such as the UK Corporate Governance Code. These references are summaries and are not legal advice. Laws and guidance change, and their application depends on the facts. For legal advice, consult a qualified solicitor or other appropriately regulated legal professional.
2.2 No financial, tax or accounting advice
Content about fundraising, valuation, cost modelling, remuneration or exit planning is general in nature and is not financial, tax or accounting advice. Tax rules in particular are complex and depend on individual circumstances. Speak to a qualified accountant or tax adviser before making decisions with tax or financial consequences.
2.3 No investment advice
Nothing on our website is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any investment, or an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity. We do not provide personal recommendations about investments.
2.4 Interactive tools
Tools such as our governance scorecard and fractional cost calculator produce indicative results based on the information you enter and on simplified assumptions. They are designed to support discussion, not to provide a formal assessment, quotation or valuation. Actual costs and outcomes may differ significantly.
3. No professional relationship
Reading our website, using our tools, submitting a form or exchanging initial emails with us does not create a client relationship or any professional duty of care. A client relationship exists only once we have accepted an order or agreed a written proposal or engagement letter with you, and our responsibilities are then limited to the scope set out in that agreement.
4. Regulatory status
BoardroomUK is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). We do not provide regulated investment advice, arrange deals in investments or carry on any other regulated activity under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.
Where our services involve fundraising or investor readiness, our role is to help you prepare, for example by improving governance, reporting and board processes. If you need regulated advice or assistance, such as advice on investments or the communication of financial promotions, you should use a firm that is appropriately authorised. You can check whether a firm is authorised on the FCA’s Financial Services Register at register.fca.org.uk.
Tip: Before relying on any adviser for regulated activities, check their status on the FCA register and confirm the scope of their permissions in writing.
5. Accuracy and currency of information
We take care to research and review our content, as described in our Editorial Policy. However, we make no representations, warranties or guarantees, express or implied, that the content on our website is accurate, complete or up to date.
We review articles periodically, but we cannot guarantee that every page reflects the latest position on the day you read it. Articles reflect our understanding at the time of writing or last review. Legislation, regulatory guidance, thresholds and market practice may have changed since then. Where a date of publication or update is shown, please take it into account.
6. External links
Our website contains links to third-party websites, including government departments and regulators, provided for your convenience. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content, availability, accuracy or privacy practices. A link does not mean we endorse the website, its owner or its products and services.
7. Views of authors
Articles are published under the name of the author or the BoardroomUK Editorial Team. Views expressed are those of the author at the time of writing. They are intended to inform and prompt discussion and do not necessarily represent a formal position that we would apply to every client situation.
8. Testimonials and examples
We do not publish fabricated, incentivised or paid-for testimonials or reviews. If we publish a testimonial or client comment in future, it will reflect the genuine view of the individual concerned, will be published with their permission, and will not be a guarantee that you will have the same experience.
Some articles use hypothetical examples to illustrate a point. These are clearly framed as illustrations and do not describe real clients or real outcomes.
9. Results not guaranteed
Every organisation is different. Outcomes such as successful fundraising, a sale of the business, improved board performance, regulatory compliance or business growth depend on many factors beyond our control, including market conditions, the decisions of your board and shareholders, the actions of third parties and the information available to us. We do not guarantee any particular result from using our website or our services.
10. Errors and omissions
Despite our efforts, our content may contain errors, typographical mistakes or omissions. We may correct or update content at any time without notice, but we are not obliged to do so. If you spot something that looks wrong, please let us know and we will review it in line with our corrections process.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from reliance on information on our website. Nothing in this Disclaimer excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the law of England and Wales, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence or for fraud.
11. Use and quotation of our content
Our content is protected by copyright. You may quote short extracts for the purposes of criticism, review, quotation or news reporting, as permitted under the fair dealing provisions of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, provided that you give sufficient acknowledgement, including our name and a link to the original page.
You must not republish whole articles, reproduce our tools or present our content as your own without our written permission. For permission requests, please email us. For concerns about content on our website that you believe infringes your rights, see our DMCA & Copyright Policy.
