Top tip for businesses planning growth 
One of the biggest mistakes growing businesses make is focusing on turnover rather than 
profitability.

Before pushing for growth, make sure you understand: 
• which products or services are most profitable 
• how growth will affect your cash flow 
• whether your pricing actually supports the level of growth you want 
Growth should strengthen a business — not put it under pressure.
