How Do I Grow My Business?

By: Flex Capital

This is the fundamental question every entrepreneur asks themselves on a regular basis. Regardless of what stage of the business you are in, everyone wants to keep growing because as the saying goes “if you’re not growing, you’re dying.” Although there’s no simple answers to this question, there are some fundamentals every business owner needs to keep in mind when trying to scale.

Having a clear vision is the first step to growing your business

If you want to get employees and team members all on the same page you need a clear vision or path for the company. It’s important to set forth goals for the company over the next 5 years so that everyone is clear what the mission is. If you don’t know where you want to go then how do you take the first step?

Once you figure out where you want your business to be in the short and long term, you have to hire and fire toward that vision. It’s important to be surrounded by others who not only understand and share your vision but have enthusiasm and the ability to carry it out.

Secure the funding to reach your goals and scale

A common reason businesses fail is they run out of money. Some situations are simply that no amount of money in the world would ultimately save a business. However, as a business owner you need to give your company every chance in the world to survive.

This could mean getting investors involved by providing venture capital. If you’re willing to give up a portion of your business or feel like you need a partner then this might be the best route for you. However, if you want to maintain ownership of your pride and joy, which I’m assuming your business is, then you might want to look into other options.

Should I take out a business loan for my company?

The only person who can ultimately answer this question is you. However, there are many options out there many business owners are either unaware of or have really poor visions of what those options are. Yes, there are bad lenders to work with out there, that’s true with any vertical, including payday loans. However, that does not mean the entire lending industry is out there to take advantage of you. There are many quite reasonable programs available for businesses at all stages and levels.

If you can secure funding at a reasonable rate then it’s likely a good thing for your business. Given that your vision is to grow, it will take capital to get those dreams off the ground and sustain for the long run. Rapid growth is next to impossible without the financial backing needed to fuel the fire.

Additional capital will allow you to hire more people, get your business into a larger space or just take on that extra project this year. If your calculated return on investment is significantly more than the cost of funds or interest charged on the loan, then you’ve found a great deal and should jump at the opportunity.
