                                Smashing Business Growth Barriers  

Successful business owners know that continued business survival can only be guaranteed through sustained business growth. For SMEs who fail to grow or adapt to the changes in competitive and economic landscape, the results are inevitable and often catastrophic.  

In RSA’s recent white paper, “Growing Pains”, it examines the current shape of the economy and barriers to growth for SMEs. The UK is a great place to start a business, but survival rates are low. Why? According to the research:

 

  • 63% of small business owners admit they find it difficult to grow their company.
     
  • 61% also lack confidence in their ability to achieve three-year continued growth.

 

Perhaps most alarming is that over two-thirds (69%) of business owners believe it’s hard to turn a small company into a medium-sized enterprise, which in our experience couldn’t be further from the truth.

 

In a separate paper from ORC International, in conjunction with Durham Business School, SME business owners identified a number of barriers to their growth, notably that they lacked: 
 

  • A strong, strategic understanding of the market.
     
  • Business agility to respond quickly to market changes.
     
  • Long-term, trust-based relationships with customers.
     
  • Uniqueness/innovation/diversification.
     
  • Efficiency and cost-effectiveness to be more attractive to procurers.

 

These are all common challenges that we help our clients to overcome on a daily basis, and nothing that can’t be easily addressed through a detailed and robust business strategy.
