The COVID-19 crisis continues to impact business in general. Following the traditional method of doing business in this continuously changing landscape might prove difficult for business owners and directors. Especially accessing their companies, and the running of business entities in foreign countries might seem impossible.
The way businesses are now forced to operate has changed, and the impact hereof is enormous. This, however, does not change the way business is run. Work has to continue, management decisions have to be taken and documented, deadlines have to be met, and proper governance must be ensured.
While nobody knows how the business environment will change in the future, one thing is certain, business owners and directors must be able to perform their duties and responsibilities. This means that new and more modern means are necessary and need to be incorporated into constitutional documentation to have effect.
