Turning a small business into a big one is never easy. Recognize that staying small doesn’t necessarily guarantee your business’s survival-; there are examples of companies out there that have successfully made the transition from start-up to small business to fully-thriving large business.
So what exactly can you do to help grow your business?
Stay Focused
Don’t try and do too many things.
Keep Tabs On The Competition
Competitive intelligence is key to remaining relevant, noticeable and profitable within any market.
Google My Business
This is a free tool by Google that could help drastically improve your online presence
Google Maps Optimisation
This is one of the most important aspects of modern SEO. Today’s internet browsers use Google Maps to locate a nearby business to fulfil their current needs. Making sure you rank highly is, therefore, key to attracting new customers.
Go Mobile
Most internet users now engage with websites and online advertisements via mobiles devices.
Social Media Marketing
Whether you love it or hate it, social media is here to stay. With over 3 billion social media users worldwide, it offers a huge audience that you simply can’t ignore.
Outsource
If you’re trying to grow your business, win some new clients or take on some new projects but don’t have the infrastructure to take on new staff or up-skill your current ones, outsourcing to freelancers could really help.
Go Paperless
Managing all your data and communications electronically will also help your staff find information faster, communicate with clients and other staff quicker and complete projects in a smaller time frame.
Stay Well Connected
Everything in today’s business market is done online. Make sure you are up to speed with your customers and competitors
Focus on Customer Service

Running a small business can be extremely tough, and growing a small business can be even tougher. Without the back-up of huge corporate infrastructure, it can feel like a constant uphill battle to make ends meet, let alone trying to expand.
But growing your business doesn’t have to be impossible. With some careful planning and a bit of “working smarter not harder” you can grow from strength to strength in no time.
