As a business owner, there will come a time when you want to expand and make more money, but it’s hard to know when to take the plunge. Follow these business milestones to decide when the time is right for you to grow your company.
Loyal Client Base
Having a strong base of repeat clients shows ongoing demand for your products or services and high satisfaction level with the quality of your performance. Your word-of-mouth recommendations will increase along with your business, which will increase your profits.
Steady Profits
When your business is profitable for at least three years, you know you’re doing something right and your business model will work elsewhere.
Strong Employee Team
Preparing for growth involves being ready for additional work, new demands, and greater challenges. You’ll need workers who will take charge at new locations, with new product or service lines, or with new accounts. USA Staffing Services can help.
Industry/Market Growth
When your industry or market expands, it’s probably a good time for you to expand as well. See what your competitors are doing and how you can compete with (or top) their services. You’ll most likely be filling needs that come up with new clients needing new services, which will increase your bottom line.
Positive Cash Flow
Getting paid on time and managing your cash flow wisely give you the financial foundation to expand your business.
Increasing Client Demands
When you’re turning away clients, are too busy to contact them in a timely manner, or are working around the clock, it’s time to expand. Perhaps you’ll consider adding related products or services to fill strong, open needs being voiced by your clients to increase sales.
Operational Systems
Having systems in place for conducting business ensures each employee is trained in the same manner, and services are replicated at all locations. Clients then know what to expect and quality output is assured.
Needed Space
If you’re running out of space, you’ll need to expand to a bigger location. Clear hallways and adequate office and meeting space are required to effectively run a business.
