If it is knowedge contribution of technical know how. Just make a disclosure about the related party relationship, nature of transaction, and amounts of work done for free. The consultant must have a significant control in the managenent decision and he need not hold shares of that company.

If the consultant is giving knowledge due to large transactions occuring between him and the firm and if due to economic dependance than no need to make any disclosures. Eg. This guy comes and gives training usually for a fee and he gave additiinal training as he was payed as a package and its his responsibility to complete trainjng. Etc.

Since it's a free advice but seperate quantifiable disclosure can always be made.
Sir what is quantifiable disclosure means?

Hiya quantitative = maths, numbers and formulas. Qualitative means = assumprions, theories, wrtten work etc. We can say accounts is quantitative and marketing a qualitative subject
