Today I am coming to you from the coast of Cartagena, Colombia.

"There’s no time like the present," as they say, and ANY time of the year is the right time to look at opportunities for growth and planning. If you are thinking about it, it is time to talk to someone about it.

"It takes a village" is another common phrase, and it is just as true for helping a business grow as it is for raising children. "No person is an island," and nobody can do everything themselves. As a business grows, it needs different types of support at different stages, which is why I have developed a Nine Stage Business Growth Support Pathway to connect with and guide businesses from pre-revenue StartUps to multi-million-dollar turnover businesses, trading in Australia and internationally.

What all of these businesses have in common at every stage is their Support Team:

• Accountants – not just for quarterly and annual ATO compliance, but for structuring and growth
• Lawyers – ensuring contracts are in place to protect ongoing business relationships
• Marketing – researching your target market and developing a "Go To Market" strategy

Over the past 12 months, I have been working with multiple businesses that are growing from $100k to $M+ turnover for the first time by pulling together the RIGHT advice and support from the right team of external experts. You may need one of these people individually, or you may benefit from connecting with a team of "go-to" experts that truly understand you and your business.

There has already been an increasing number of funding opportunities as the economy recovers, both at a Federal and State level. Most of these now require confirmation that you are engaged with and receiving input from external advisers to be eligible for increased amounts of funding and support.

That’s why I developed the Crescendo Strategy, designed to assist in the preparation of business plans, investment plans, budgets, timelines, and all the other documentation required to ensure your business is prepared to apply for funding and investment.

Follow this link for more information on how the Crescendo Strategy process can assist you and your contacts.

To help you get even MORE out of the process of applying for funding, I have also released a series of emails sharing all of my secrets and success tips to assist in finding and applying for grants and investment.

To discuss how to find the right team of people for YOUR business, reach out and let’s arrange a time to chat about your plans and how we can work together to make them happen – troyschoenfisch.com/meet.
