I want to grow my business!

Once your business is up and running, you may discover that successful future growth is more of a challenge than you thought it would be. The issues you now face require more sophisticated research, complex analysis and strategic planning.

The SHSU SBDC team can help your established business with expansion efforts, whether you want to identify new markets, obtain capital for growth or develop innovative strategies.

The First Step-

Has your business plan changed or you never got around to writing one. Have you heard the saying, “Businesses don’t plan to fail, they fail to plan?” It is true that having a well thought-out, written business plan can help you stay on track for success. A business plan can help you get organized, support an application for a loan and serve as a roadmap to take your business in the right direction.

Even though most business plans basically follow a generic outline, no two plans are exactly alike. Your plan should include key factors for your specific industry. Your plan should be written to guide your day-to-day operations or it may be developed to target a specific audience such as a banker or investor.

Our free and confidential counseling will help locate the business plan for you at no cost. In addition, our staff has available resources such as ProfitCents which can help with a financial check-up or industry comparison of your business at no cost to you.
