    The best time to properly structure a business is right at the start. That's when you all share the vision and you're happy to run on caffeine fumes to make it so.But it doesn't always stay that way. Things change, people move on, the idea you started with is completely different 6 months later.You need to have rules in place to cope with those changes, so you all understand how the business will continue. In short, you need... Governance.
