How to Grow Your Small Business

By 56 Comments

If you have a successful business, the next step is to help it grow. This can mean adding new locations, expanding your market, aligning with another business, or adding an online presence.

Not only are there new things that you have to do, but you also have to keep doing what you did to make your business successful—have the proper insurance, budget, advertise, and provide high quality products or services.

How to Grow Your Small Business

Making your business larger can be as difficult as getting it to a point where it’s financially successful, but you’ve already done that.

That means that you have the ability to successfully grow your business. Now you just have to follow a few steps to help your business grow, and continue on its path of financial achievement.

Small Business Growth

There are many tools you can use to grow your small business. You can:

  • Open a new location.
  • Form an alliance or merge with a similar business.
  • Diversify the products or services you sell.
  • Target new markets.
  • Expand globally.
  • Make a bigger online presence for your business.

Following these steps will help expand your business. A new location will allow you to sell more products or services to a new area. Forming an alliance with a similar business will eliminate a potential competitor.

If you start selling new products or services, you will be able to increase your profits and it will allow you to target new markets. Expanding globally is another way to target new markets and open new locations. Finally, an online presence will give you closer contact to your clients. All of these tools help your business grow.

Financial Achievement

One final way to help your business grow is to make sure that it continues on its path of financial success. That means that you have to continue doing everything that you were doing before you started expanding your business.

It is still crucial that you continue to budget. You still have to know what sort of money you make and what you have to spend.

You still have to make sure that you have the proper insurance. As your business grows there may be new events you need to insure against.

In order to protect your now growing business you have to continue preparing for anything unexpected to happen. That can be done by keeping everything insured and by saving up an emergency fund.

Making Your Small Business Larger

You’ve already made your business successful, but now you’re looking to take it to the next step. Not only do you have to continue your business’s financial success, but you also have to start working towards new successes. Use one of the many tools available to small businesses to help your business become large.

Whether you decide to expand your business through new locations, markets, products, or means of communication, you now know that there are many ways you can grow your small business.

You don’t have to sit idly by and hope that your business will expand on its own. Use the tools at your disposal to make sure that your business grows and stays financially afloat.

  15. Nice article that points out there is more than one way to grow. We added a secondary service last year (a “soft pivot” if you will), going from just offering our service as providers, to training other providers. It’s still a bumpy road right now, but one piece of advice I would offer is to stay flexible. We’re finding that what we THOUGHT we would do and be in this space isn’t what the community seems to want, so we’re having to really LISTEN and adapt ourselves — along with the internal check, once we determine the offering that people want, will that really be something in alignment with our values and our dreams and desires? Only when it’s win-win will it (eventually) become relatively self-sustaining. Thanks for a great article!

  17. To make your Small enterprise big, one needs to have a vision of how to take the business high in the next few years. Because, things that begin well are half done.

    The second thing to be considering is the investments that you’d require. More than a medium or large sized business, a small business concern needs to be more careful about its investments (every small move counts for a small business).

    Updation is the third important thing to grow business. Only when some update takes place, the business can move vertically up. Regular research analysis on how to upgrade business needs to be done.

    • Hi Isabel,

      I wish there wasn’t so much emphasis on growing a business huge or making a million dollars. It is far easier to have a healthy work-life balance when you build a business that benefits people and provides a decent living without trying to become wealthy.

  30. Those are really helpful tips to grow a small business but do you really think opening in a new location with out prior market research and local information we may dive into the market with blindfold.
    So i suggest we should do our homework before starting the business in a new location.
