Grow your business - faster
Many small and medium businesses struggle to grow their businesses.
Often, this is because it is difficult to get (enough) money from banks and other funders. Because of strict criteria, high interest rates, or because funders consider them high risk.
The main problem is that businesses do not make enough profits to fund their own growth.
- Profitability is negatively affected when businesses do not know their Most Profitable Customers
- Profitability is also affected if businesses don’t distinguish themselves clearly from competitors
The key question is: How to increase profits so that a business can grow without depending on funders?
Guide My Growth specialises in organic growth strategies that have been used by successful businesses for decades. These strategies help businesses build a self-sustaining profitability engine so that they can grow without chasing funders.
Guide My Growth also works with businesses that want to grow through exports. We help them develop a solid Go To Market strategy that maximises their chance of success on the targeted market(s).
We also offer a free EU Export Readiness Assessment for businesses that want to export to Europe.
