If you have managed to turn your start-up into a stable business venture over the last few years, then congratulations. Many start-ups fail in their first few years, and if your business has survived, then it is a testament to the strength of your business model. All kudos aside, it's time for you to focus on growing your company and expanding your operations. Staying ahead of your competition in any niche requires a strategic growth plan that can be executed efficiently and quickly, giving your business the opportunity to grow into further sustainability and profitability.
