Business LPAs for directors: what happens if you can’t act?
Holiday, illness, accident—who signs, pays staff or talks to the bank if you can’t? A Business LPA appoints the right people to keep things moving.
What a Business LPA covers
- Day-to-day banking and payroll
- Contracts and supplier decisions
- Authorising directors’ paperwork
- Access to key systems (with proper safeguards)
Who should be your attorneys?
People who understand the business and conflicts. Often co-directors or trusted advisers. Your personal LPA can be separate from your business LPA.
Fit with your company documents
We’ll check Articles of Association, shareholder agreements and banking mandates so the LPA actually works in the real world.
Quick wins
- Keep a secure “where things are” file.
- Document key approvals.
- Review access/permissions yearly.
