    Growth vs scaling

    In simple terms, you scale your business in order to provide it with


    more capacity to grow. Growth can happen without scaling though, so
    let’s dip into the intricacies of each term so you can better understand
    the right focus for your business.
    What is business growth?
    Business growth represents the increasing value of a company over
    time. The value can be measured in different ways according to what
    represents success for a business. Some of the most common metrics
    include:
     sales revenue
     net or gross profit margin
     market share
     average order value
     new customers acquired
     average sales cycle length
     customer retention

    Companies in highly competitive markets or those seeking to expand


    quickly usually focus on growth over scaling. Such growth-focused
    businesses typically invest more time and money in marketing and
    sales in order to boost immediate sales and acquire new customers.
    Scale your business: definition
    Business scaling involves the process of increasing a company’s
    capacity for growth. To scale your business requires a longer-term
    strategy than a mere focus on immediate growth. There are a number
    of ways to scale your business, including: 
     expanding into new markets
     launching new products
     broadening marketing efforts
     strategic outsourcing
     investing in technology such as automation

    A scaling focus typically involves reinvesting company profits back


    into the business in the form of new product development and
    expansion into new markets. It could also include maximising
    operational efficiency to reduce costs and improve profit margins.

    How to scale your business


    Trying to scale without having the capacity for it is one of the
    common business scaling mistakes, so it is crucial to understand how to
    scale your business before implementing any changes. Here we
    describe the three main steps towards scaling a business, so you are
    prepared for success.
    Identify scalable areas
    The first step is always identifying what parts of your business can be
    scaled. A product range could be expanded, or additional services
    provided. It could be more internal, with operational processes
    streamlined or marketing efforts broadened. Once you know what to
    scale and how currently able you are to scale it, then you are ready for
    the next step.
    Invest in scalable areas
    Investing in the areas that can be scaled to support your capacity is
    vital at this stage. There is no point designing a new product if you do
    not have the capacity to manufacture and market it. Offering an
    additional service without trained staff to provide it is also pointless,
    as is expanding marketing efforts without the proper resources.
    Create a support framework
    Scaling also involves creating new or updated processes and systems
    to support the new business framework. This could be in the form of a
    new inventory management or accounting system, as well as a reliable
    payments system offering more payment methods and secure payment
    processing.
    GoCardless is the easiest way for businesses to get paid on time during
    and after scaling. Collect payments easily on the day they are due, with
    approximately 97.3% of payments successfully received at the first
    time of asking. For any payments that fail, Success+ allows businesses
    to retry payment automatically at the best time.
