## Director types

| Type | What it means |
| - | - |
| **RTM Director** | You took over management of your building from the freeholder under the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 |
| **RMC Director** | You are a director of a Resident Management Company that owns the freehold and manages the building |

Both types have access to the same core tools in Manage.Management. The difference is in your legal structure and obligations outside the platform.
