The scale up stage of business growth is about designing a strategy for growth and then leveraging systems, technology, processes and people in line with your strategy. The question is, how do you go about developing the right strategy?

CEO of Enspira Financial, Craig Stanmore believes it’s all about getting the right advice: “Accessing specialist skills and a trusted process is key systemising your business and leveraging for growth,” says Craig.

“We follow a five-step process in helping our clients’ businesses to scale up:

1. Embrace visionary thinking:
   Grow your business by design rather than by accident. Scaling up means thinking big.
2. Know your numbers
   Have your financial information at your fingertips, secure, reliable, accurate, up-to-date, anywhere, anytime.
3. Tactical compliance
   Strategically navigate your compliance requirements with the help of your accountant.
4. Work on your business, not in it
   You will need an effective business plan to gear up for growth.
5. Leverage strategic alliances
   During the critical scale-up stage, you need the right strategic partners. “Who you know” is just as important as “what you know”.

To help you take your business to the next level, Enspira offers a series of workshops including one on the topic of Scale Up Your Business. For more information, click here for our workshops page.
