When there are 6 million private sector small and medium-sized businesses within the UK, why is it that just 4% of them scale beyond 10 employees/around £1m turnover? And, equally importantly, what is preventing 75% of these from then scaling beyond 50? Drawing on BizSmart's own research and experiences of working with hundreds of owner-managers, Kevin Brent explores the key reasons why most organisations do not scale and how the challenges change as they reach different milestones on the scaleup journey. He then details a practical step-by-step guide to successfully navigate between the milestones in the form of ESUS – a proven system for entrepreneurs to scale up.
