You have your business growth capital in place. Now what? The finances can be a stressful aspect of growing a business, but with the capital in hand, you’re just getting started!
If you’re not sure where to start, choosing the right business consulting services can help you get organized and move forward in the right direction. There’s more to growing than just wanting it and funding it. You need a plan, and the right expert to help make the best use of your capital funds and achieve the success you have in mind.
Take it from us! Start with this guide to grow a business after raising capital.
Protect Yourself
Is your paperwork in order? If you have an established business, it’s time to review your licenses, insurance, and business entity to make sure your influx of capital still offers the best protection. If you’re becoming a formal company with the addition of this new capital funding, it’s time to set yourself up for success by incorporating and securing business insurance coverage.
Document Your Action Plan
You probably put together a business plan to request and qualify for more capital. Now you need a plan for using raised capital!
Make sure your action plan stays within your additional budget. Document your goals, hiring needs, structural updates, and marketing strategies to make the best use of your funds.
Review Your Technology
An old-school way of operating your business might hold you back from the growth you want, even with fresh capital funds at your disposal. Growing your business might require updating your technology and software to support more efficient operations and new customers.
New software solutions can include a CRM and sales funnel to keep track of existing and new customers as your business grows. Work with a business growth consultant to analyze your current technology systems and choose the best software for your present (and future) needs.
Improve Your Customer Service
To grow a business with capital, you must find better ways to retain existing customers and gain new ones. Take time to review your customer service practices and find ways to improve how you serve them.
Your customers probably love your products or services, but your customer service can be the deciding factor for consumers to choose your business over a similar company. When you delight your customers, you give them more reasons to keep coming back to you—and spread the word to help increase your customer base.
Market For Success
Raised capital allows you to do new and exciting things with your business. Let everyone know!
After reviewing your action plan and putting the right structure and technology in place to support your growth, develop and implement a marketing plan that gets the word out about your business to a broader audience.
