Organic business growth is ideal and viable because it allows you to drive the company forward in a sustainable way. If you plan to grow your business in the near future, here are three smart and practical ways to get started.

 

1. Improve business finances

Improving your business finances is a critical step toward business growth. Don’t procrastinate in this area. When it comes to finances, as a business owner you have your work cut out for you: Not only do you need to manage your business’s finances, you have to manage your personal finances, too.

For starters, make sure you properly manage your accounting tasks, look for ways to cut costs by revisiting vendor contract terms and projections, consider outside investments when necessary or even leverage the power of the crowd by crowdfunding your next launch. Improved finances will go a long way toward helping you achieve the business growth you desire.

 

2. Consider a rebrand

Business growth is directly tied to brand loyalty. Think carefully about the current state of your brand and how it impacts every area of your business, from customer support to sales.

Amazon chief Jeff Bezos has notably said: “Your brand is what other people say about you when you’re not in the room.” And subsequently, what’s said about you impacts the way the market perceives you and your bottom line.

There are a number of reasons why a company might consider a rebrand. Perhaps your mission has evolved, you’d like to attract a new customer base, enter a foreign market or simply stay relevant. Whatever the case, target specific business growth metrics (e.g., your sales revenue, qualified monthly leads, Net Promoter Score, etc.) with rebranding efforts and measure the results.

 

3. Outsource key business activities

Outsourcing is a powerful way to scale your business fast. If you can outline your systems and processes effectively, and then outsource key areas of your business to third parties you’ll experience a boost in efficiency and productivity. By simply removing the bottlenecks in your business and partnering with skilled freelancers and companies, you can save money in the long run.
