A Guide to Business Growth

When you have invested significant time and money in the growth of your business, you want to ensure that the return on your investment is significant and notable enough to reflect your commitment. Sometimes growing your business in the right direction, and at a rate that is reflective of your ambition can be difficult, so it is important to build a detailed growth plan.

How do you Define Business Growth?

Defining business growth can be difficult. All businesses want to grow, and with an organised approach and strong business practice, they should see some form of growth. However, businesses need to identify what level of growth will have a significant effect on the success of their business, and what level of growth they need to attain to achieve their overarching visionary goals.

The first step is in creating business growth goals.

How do you Set Business Growth Goals?

Every business ‘plans’ to grow, but it is those that set defined goals and build growth strategies that support these goals that will succeed in growing. It can however, be difficult to set such goals. Like all business goals, growth goals need to be SMART. To illustrate.

Specific

Measurable

Attainable

Relevant

Time-Bound

Thus, a vague, poorly formulated target figure will only cause confusion and disappointment in the long term. The goal you set should also be linked to, and attainable via a well-formulated business growth strategy. This strategy should examine changes that you can make to your business and processes. For example, can you have a better grip on your cash flow, can you negotiate better deals on subscription services (such as software or processes), do you even need these subscription services?

As a business owner, your time should not be taken up by menial tasks, especially if other team members are available to complete such tasks. Use this time to work on the business plan and growth strategy and make your business growth goals a reality. Parker Andrews are able to help you take an objective look at your business and assist in formulating a successful growth plan.
