one study found<\/a> that two-thirds of the fastest growing companies ended up performing worse long-term than companies growing more slowly.<\/p>\nSigns you should expand<\/h1>\n
So how do you know when is the right time to expand your small business? Here are four indicators that it could be the right time.<\/p>\n
1. Loyal customer base<\/h2>\n
If you\u2019ve built a strong base of repeat customers, this could be a sign that it\u2019s time to expand. Repeat customers provide recurring revenue that stabilizes your business, and strong customer loyalty demonstrates a demand for your product or service.<\/p>\n
However, a rush of one-time customers doesn\u2019t necessarily mean you have a loyal customer base. Rather, it could just be due to a temporary fluctuation in the market.<\/p>\n
2. You can no longer meet demand<\/h2>\n
Do you regularly turn away new customers because the demand is higher than your current capacity? Expanding your business can make it easier for you to meet this demand. However, you\u2019ll want to make sure this is a true result of increased demand and not just poorly run processes within your company.<\/p>\n
3. There is growth within the industry<\/h2>\n
If your industry is gaining popularity, then you should consider expanding your business to meet the industry\u2019s consumer growth. Spend some time researching industry trends to see if your industry is on the rise.<\/p>\n
4. Your business is meeting and exceeding goals<\/h2>\n
Every business starts out with a plan and milestones they hope to reach. Once you start regularly meeting or exceeding these goals, it\u2019s probably time to expand. However, you need to have the right partners and systems in place to meet these bigger goals.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re ready to expand your business, you\u2019ll likely need to consider how much working capital you have at your disposal to keep up with the growth. Make a cash flow budget<\/a> that factors in your potential growth, and ensure you\u2019ll have the right financing in place<\/a>. Now could be the perfect time to discuss options with your funding partner to get your growth strategy in place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Expanding your business can be both an exciting prospect and a daunting challenge.
