Strengthening commercial acumen: Should you set up a subsidiary?

Are you a key decision maker at a Welsh housing association looking to enhance your commercial capability? Join us for the first session in our new 'Upskilling commercial acumen' webinar series, designed specifically for leadership teams navigating the evolving landscape of housing and regeneration.

In this session, we’ll dive into the core considerations when setting up a subsidiary.

Housing Associations set up subsidiaries for a range of strategic, financial, and operational reasons. They can help the organisation to better deliver on its core mission, diversify income streams, manage risk, and operate more commercially within legal and regulatory frameworks. Getting the approach right for your organisation and understanding the options available is essential to getting the best outcome for customers.

Led by Harriet Morgan and Liz Fletcher, Partners in Hugh James’ Social Housing Team and specialists in the governance and commercial worlds, we will provide an overview of what you need to consider, who needs to be involved, the structures available to you and signpost you towards the expert advice you will need to tailor the approach for your organisation.

This session will equip you with a grounded framework to approach conversations around subsidiary development confidently and strategically.

Who should attend?

Senior leaders, board members, finance directors, and strategic planners at housing associations who are involved in or considering commercial or charitable subsidiary ventures.
