| | | Expansion potential | | | From inception, the business has been tightly controlled, with expansion limited by the initial capital invested, and through retained profits providing the working capital. The present owners have carefully selected clientele, being extremely conservative as to who the company will work with. Additionally, the company has been owner operated to provide a lifestyle income in preference to business growth, where a greater turnover would require an expansion of human and business resources. A new owner may adopt a more pro-active approach to sales and marketing, employing a dedicated Sales Manager to explore alternative income streams, and thereby look to increase turnover and levels of profitability. |
