| Expansion potential |
|
| Sales & Marketing - The present owner has deliberately limited the company?s marketing efforts, restricting the business to a level at which he and his staff are comfortable. A new owner is highly likely to seek out additional business opportunities including the targeting of existing customers for additional contracts. ? Staffing - In line with the above, a new owner may seek to employ additional staff and increase the business? capacity to handle additional workloads. This could be done on a sub-contract basis and thereby offer the new business owner greater flexibility and security |
