This is one of the most common questions from young business owners. The first step from a business point of view is to make sure you have all the fundamentals of your business in place. This is crucial because if the fundamentals are not right your business will not be ready for expansion.
The fundamentals of a business include having your bookkeeping running smoothly, so you have accurate data to base your decisions on, having the right business structure to expand, and having the right people in your business to deal with the expansion.
You also need to consider how you are going to fund your expansion. Often a business will not be stockpiled with cash before an expansion so alternative financing options will be required. This may involve a financial institution such as a bank, crowdfunding or bringing in other investors to the business.
