23 July 2025 • Business Growth

Growth is exciting. But it’s not always obvious or easy. Here are seven signs that your business is growing (even if it doesn’t always feel like it) and what steps to take next.

1. Increased Revenue

Your sales numbers are climbing. But is your profit keeping up? Now’s the time to review your pricing strategy and cost controls.

2. More Customers

You’re seeing more repeat customers and new inquiries. Don’t let service quality slip consider investing in systems or people to keep up.

3. Staff Are Stretched

If your team is constantly busy or you’re working overtime, growth may be outpacing capacity. Time to consider hiring or outsourcing.

4. Cash Flow Crunches

Even with healthy sales, cash feels tight. Growing businesses often face this get help forecasting and managing working capital.

5. You’re Getting Noticed

More media coverage, partnerships, or referrals? That’s a growth signal. Make sure your brand and messaging are aligned.

6. You’re Saying No to Work

Turning down jobs or clients? It might be time to scale.

7. You’re Planning Ahead

If you’re thinking about next quarter or next year instead of just next week you’re evolving. Use this momentum to create a clear growth strategy.

What to Do Next

Growth is great, but unmanaged growth can lead to burnout or financial strain. Speak with a financial advisor or strategist who can help you grow wisely — not just quickly.
