Don't hold back Business Growth

Advanced Business Growth

We often categorize businesses based on either the size of their revenue or the number of people they employ.

Strangely for some businesses, this can hold back business growth.

GET STARTED

How Can We Define Business Growth?

Business Growth is the process of improving your business success. Simply put, you can achieve Business growth by either increasing your top-line revenue or your bottom line profit. However, these are not the only measures of business growth.
Growth could include looking at your company value, your profits, the number of customers in your business and several other factors. Companies can grow in some areas but not in others. For example, your business revenue can grow without an increase in the number of customers, as a result of your existing clients buying more.

Why Is Business Growth Important?

There are several reasons why business growth is essential. Business growth allows us to take advantage of new opportunities that may come our way. Business growth can allow you to respond to market demands and increase your market share and reach. Business Growth can enable you to expand your products or services range. It can drive innovation, and further investment into R&D. All these factors help you set yourself apart from your competition. Business growth can include finding new ways of attracting more customers or increasing sales and revenue. Business growth can also help you grow and develop your team, as well as support in creating more job opportunities for people in your business and industry.

When planning your business growth, you need to have a solid business growth strategy in place. You need to define if and why your business is ready to grow. As part of your plan, you need to understand your new business objectives. You also need to define your time frames and set goals for your types of business growth.

All companies should experience business growth. But, the type of growth required will depend on the stage of growth that your business is currently in. A start-up business needs to grow to position themselves in the market. They need to get enough revenue quickly to cover their costs. They need to ensure they start making a bottom-line profit as soon as possible. Mature companies may not need to grow quite as fast as a start-up. For a mature company, improving sales processes and business efficiencies could increase profitability. Helping a mature business build liquidity to protect it against possible future risk. This may mean revenue and sales stay the same for a mature business.

Why Do Businesses Focus On Business Growth?

Most businesses grow to become larger competitors. They look at increasing sales or market share. However, the size of your business should not be your only factor to consider. Companies need to grow to ensure they are sustainable and resilient in the market. Another advantage of business growth, include elements like the lowering of costs, greater market dominance, better bargaining and buying power.

By growing your business, you are also able to mitigate commercial risks through factors like diversification. Reduce the threat of competition, survive market fluctuations and downturn. You are also able to attract the best talent and staff in the industry.

How Do You Grow Your Business?

There is no one standard way to grow a business. You may want to form business partnerships or merge with another company. Expand your product or service areas. You may want to look at launching new products into existing markets. You may want to diversify your existing product line.

To identify the right growth opportunities, you need to understand how your business is currently performing. You need to evaluate your business to identify current weaknesses. You also need to ensure you know the challenges and possible obstacles that can arise from your planned business growth. You also need to know how to scare off your competitors.

What Are The Main Business Growth Drivers?

Businesses don’t grow by themselves. You need to plan and prepare a business growth strategy. Companies looking to achieve organic growth, need to put systems in place to drive business growth. Increasing your pricing in isolation is not a business growth strategy.

Which business should be looking at business growth?

All business, no matter how big or small, should continuously be considering their business growth. The stage of the business lifecycle, trends in the industry, technology and a company’s desire for equity value creation are all functions of business growth. Start-ups usually need to grow to position themselves in the market and cover their costs, ensuring they generate enough profit to be sustainable. Whereas a mature company may not need to grow as fast as a start-up. Mature, successful companies which reach the point for expansion and want to look at additional ways to generate more profit require business growth.

Business growth 4 step process

As a Business Growth Professional, I work with business executives and business owners offering business growth support by following a simple 4 step process.

Step 1 - Business Evaluation
This process is around dissecting the business, understanding what stage the business is in. Defining where the company has come from and where do we want it to go. This process allows us to select the right growth strategy for leaders and employees.

Step 2 - Business Growth Strategy
Together with the core members of the business, I will work on a revised business strategy, defining the metrics of measuring business growth success and defining opportunities to reposition the company for growth, either within the current market space or within new markets. This process does not necessarily mean physically expanding your footprint into new markets, but it may be a combination of reevaluating your product and customer mix.
