Top tips for business growth

1.       Directors and business owners should spend the majority of their time thinking about customers, sales and marketing and not administration and management. Let others take care of that.
2.       Think big but work out how to grow using the resources at your disposal rather than taking on business loans or racking up credit card debt. 
3.       People make the difference. Business growth can stall when you don't have the right people, with the right skills and the right experience. When you need more resource, bring it in (part-time is an affordable way to achieve this) and don't compromise on talent.
