A good corporate governance framework has the potential for these benefits:

• Enhancing overall company performance.
• Preparing a small enterprise for growth, and so helping to secure new business opportunities when they arise.
• Increasing attractiveness to investors and lenders, which enables faster growth. (According to a global investor opinion survey in 2002, investors are ready to pay a premium of as much as 25% for companies exhibiting high governance standards in Asia.)
• Increasing the company's ability to identify and mitigate risks, manage crises and respond to changing market trends.
• Increasing market confidence as a whole. All companies suffer from corporate scandals, which scare potential investors away from the market.
