How to build your 5-Year Plan

How you scale and grow your business will ultimately determine how you are going to exit your business. By strategically growing your business will give you greater control and more options for the future.

 

Gain clarity

Before embarking on any journey, no matter what it is, we need to know three key elements:

  1.          Where is our starting point?

  2.          Where is our destination?

  3.          What is the best route to take?

We begin by undertaking an assessment to determine these three elements and tailor a growth strategy to suit your needs and goals.

To understand how this process works we would like to invite you to our free Growth and Exit Planning Strategy Session.

De-Risk

Growing a business is risky. We therefore need to protect all the wealth you have built up until this point and ensure the business has the correct foundations to handle growth.

Why is strategic growth so important?

  • As someone who has experienced first-hand the frustration, barriers and brick walls encountered in the Business Sale marketplace, how refreshing it is to find a Company committed to doing the job professionally and efficiently. The sector is currently flooded with company’s unprepared for sale, lacking in current critical financial information and misled by agents over true company valuation and as a consequence languishing on agent’s books. Business by Design offers a slick procedure, run by competent, honest professionals who address and encompass every element of the major event of selling a business, from start to finish and beyond.

  • The key benefits are knowledge and understanding of selling a business and helping business owners to prepare their business for sale so that they can maximise the amount of money that they're able to sell the business for. It benefits my business because that's part of our purpose; to grow businesses and pre-prepare the business owner for the sale of the business when they're ready to do so.

  • Cliff’s knowledge of business development, finance and systems facilitates growth and productivity. His friendly yet frank approach is welcome and refreshing. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience from running his own companies, which means he understands what it is like to be a business owner and can empathise with the pain that can be part and parcel of running a business.

  • I’ve had the pleasure of working with Cliff several times over the last few years. Most recently hiring him as a speaker at a business workshop event earlier this year, where his presentation was extremely well received by the attendees. In an industry filled with business “experts” and “gurus” it’s a welcomed relief to come across someone with a plethora of experience in building and scaling businesses in a vast array of industries.
