Growth

You’re ready to move up to a bigger league by expanding your offering or by grasping that big contract.
Changes must be made: Do you find that exciting or scary?

The services

Growth makes demands, but not necessarily massive investment
SNPD will examine precisely what is essential to fuel the growth. It may be centred on growing knowledge and skills within the business, or the physical expansion of machinery, premises, staff numbers or product range. Each resource must be expanded at the pace to suit the business; planning the sequence is the key to success.

Can we afford the risk?
When you start a new venture all you risk is fame; when you expand, so do the risks. SNPD helps you quantify the risks and construct the safety nets.

Is the team ready?
The company is ready to move to a bigger league, but the management and operational team is relatively inexperienced at this level. It is hard to find the answers when you don’t know the questions. SNPD is your guide, helping you exploit funding, business support and networking opportunities. Mentoring at no more than the level of involvement you need, we call on 30 years’ experience to help you avoid the common pitfalls.

When the contract’s on offer
It is so easy to get carried away by this sign of confidence in your business, and then do the ‘headless chicken’ thing and miss the deadlines. That way lies the ruin of a reputation and the loss of a valuable contract. SNPD takes the cool and dispassionate view. Stage by stage we will map out the choices, meet the project deadlines and budgets and gain a sound business reputation while harnessing the momentum.

Key strategic decisions for diversification:
Is this the time or the product to change the direction of the whole company? Should the product or new range be ‘floated off’ as a separate entity, or even go to a third party producer?

SNPD looks at the questions and translates decisions into actions.
