Do you recognize yourself in this growth business profile?

• Owners or managers do not always find time to devote themselves to strategic issues required to grow further.
• Business systems are working, but not at optimal levels and therefore require the owner’s / manager’s attention.
• The business is, in general, mostly focused on, and absorbed by its daily operations and daily problem solving.
• The business may have been growing in sales volume and profitability, or in physical size or number of employees, and it has become increasingly difficult to manage the business efficiently.
• Alternatively, the owner or manager has ideas to have the business expanding, but is not sure exactly what route to take and how to implement it effectively.

If you, as a business owner or manager, recognize yourself in this scenario, then EYB is for you!

• Are you running a business with more than 6 and up to 100 employees or more.
• Does your business have basic management systems for marketing, stock control, record keeping, buying and financial planning in place?
• Are you growing your business and want to grow it further? Do you want to expand the business growth faster?
• Have you recorded some success in domestic markets and perhaps even in export markets?
• Has your business been in operation for at least a year and perhaps longer?

If you can answer most of these questions positively, then it is time to enrol for the Expand Your Business course. This course will help you to realize your growth plans !

The Expand Your Business programme will assist you to develop a strategy and planning approach to growth, organize your entire business according to the strategy and develop and implement the growth plan for your business.

Who from the business should participate?
The training is primarily meant for the owners and managers of the businesses. As an owner or director, you may want to decide to participate yourself alone. However, if you havefunctional managers orsupervisers in your business , we do recommend that you also enrol them for the programme. In particular if you have line managers for marketing, operations, HRM or finance, we strongly suggest that they participate at least in the area of their expertise. This way you will capacitate them to strengthen the business function they are responsible for, and build a good technical working relationship with them upon completion of the course.
