The business life cycle stages and what you might experience in each phase
START UP
When you’re just starting out in business, you may feel overwhelmed, confused and excited, and your business finances will be difficult to predict. Most businesses don’t survive this phase, so you’ll need to get the right advice and support to get you through this difficult and exhilarating time.
MATURITY
Once your business has survived beyond the first few years, you’ll have more business questions to answer, and will be experiencing growth. Your business will be easier to plan and predict, as you’ll have some financial, sales, marketing and employment data to work with. Your business should be starting to become profitable and cash flow positive (most of the time).
Future Growth
Once you’ve been in business for a little longer, your business should be experiencing more growth. Your products and services have improved, and you’re satisfying your customers’ needs. You’ll have a team and long-term suppliers. You’ll need to keep a sharp eye on your business health and profitability. Growing businesses are often making great profits but they need help managing cash flow while keeping their business growing and healthy.
Exit or Death
Your business is profitable, steady and predictable. You have a great business, and you’re wondering what comes next. You’ll probably be thinking about succession planning or exiting from your business. Being complacent with your business strategy now puts your business at risk, and you need to stay on top of your game or find someone to take over the reins. We can help you get your business ducks in a row, getting you investor-or-financier-ready.
