Scaling now or preparing for expansion?

Get practical guidance on growing your business, overcoming barriers to scale, and accessing external funding to achieve your growth ambitions. Delivered by Consultant Jo Lloyd and Investment Expert Fiona Scott.

1. Preparing for Growth

Start by defining why you want to grow your business. Better income? Leave a legacy? Sector domination?

What’s your end game for growth? Is it build and sell? Or build for successors? Or build because you can?

Explore growth routes such as organic development, leveraging intellectual property, and acquisitions. Learn what your business needs to succeed, from strategy and planning to internal changes that set the stage for growth.

2. Scaling Smart: Strategies for Sustainable Success

Avoid common pitfalls that hinder scaling, like outdated processes, ingrained habits, and lack of financial clarity. Discover practical strategies to overcome these barriers, including training, process redesign, and shifting the owner’s role from hands-on to strategic leadership.

3. Funding Growth

Investment expert Fiona Scott will outline funding options - from traditional lenders and private equity to alternative routes like angel investors, crowdfunding, and grants. Understand what makes a business investment-ready and how to prepare.

Plus, learn how the Expert Help programme can support your business in building strong foundations for growth.
