About Quorate
Built for the organisations that make communities work
01
Our mission
Quorate exists to give every organisation — from the smallest village hall committee to the largest multi-academy trust — the tools to run their governance properly. Not enterprise software scaled down. Not a generic meeting tool with governance bolted on. Purpose-built, sector-aware governance.
When a parish clerk signs up, they see Councillor, Clerk, Full Council, and Precept. When a school clerk signs up, they see Governor, Clerk to Governors, Full Governing Body, and Budget. When a charity secretary signs up, they see Trustee, Secretary, Board of Trustees, and Annual General Meeting. Same platform. Different language. Same rigour. Different rules.
Every meeting template, compliance framework, standing order default, and terminology map is configured per sector — not hard-coded. The platform adapts. The clerk doesn't.
What we believe
Governance is not optional
Every decision made in a formal meeting has legal weight. The tools should match the seriousness of the work.
Clerks deserve better
Parish clerks, school clerks, charity secretaries — they are often part-time, underpaid, and overwhelmed. We build for them first.
Transparency builds trust
Public portals, published minutes, decision logs — transparency is not a compliance chore, it is how communities hold their institutions accountable.
One platform, not ten
Meeting management, action tracking, compliance, financial governance, public portal — all in one place, not spread across Word, Excel, email, and a noticeboard.
Configuration, not code
Supporting 86 organisation types is not a feature roadmap — it is a configuration file. Same platform, different templates, different terminology, different rules.
Pricing should be fair
No per-seat charges. One published price per organisation, the same for a village hall as for a town council, with at least 30 days’ notice of any change. Local government can add the optional Govern upgrade by purchase order.

How we build
Quorate is built on modern, proven infrastructure. Next.js for the application layer. PostgreSQL with row-level security for data isolation — RLS is enforced at the database layer, so cross-tenant reads are architecturally prevented. AWS infrastructure hosted in the UK (eu-west-2, London). Stripe for billing. Data is encrypted at rest, and visitors connect over HTTPS.
We take security seriously because governance data is sensitive. Part 2 (confidential) meeting content is access-controlled. Downloads of files flagged as infected are blocked. Account lockout after repeated failed sign-ins. MFA and single sign-on. An append-only audit trail. A published Data Processing Agreement and sub-processor list.
Quorate is provided by Zero Drift Ltd, company number 17202217, registered office The Glass House, Rhododendron Avenue, Meopham, Gravesend, England, DA13 0TT.
