Re: Business Lifecycle

Stage 0 – The Aspirational Stage. People in this stage want to start a business and like the idea of it, but they haven’t committed to becoming entrepreneurs.
Stage 1 – The Entry Stage. These are people who have decided to start a business and are actively building their market and offers. They may not have many or any customers, but they’re no longer sitting on the fence about being an entrepreneur.
Stage 2 – The Growth Stage. Entrepreneurs in the growth stage have a business plan and are growing their revenue streams with new clients and customers. They aren’t booked solid and running at full capacity yet, but there’s no longer a question that they have a viable business model.
Stage 3 – The Crucible Stage. Entrepreneurs in this growth stage are in the delightfully frustrating point in which they’re booked solid and working at full steam, but the demand for their goods and services outstrips their ability to meet it. Something has to give, but many times they don’t want to let go of the business activities that have gotten them to this stage.
Stage 4 – The Cruise Stage. Entrepreneurs in this growth stage have figured out what it was that kept them bottlenecked and constricted at Stage 3 and are running full steam ahead. They have the necessary team and support that allows them to focus on their core competencies, or, if they don’t, they have a specific plan in place to get those resources.

Re: Business Lifecycle

I’ve been working on this model for a while now in the Forge and out in the field with my clients and friends, but it’s time to share it with you. If you’ve read Martha Beck’s Finding Your Own North Star, you’ll see many parallels. I had been incubating the model for awhile and her framework crystallized it into something more concrete.

Re: Business Lifecycle

There are three key processes in operating a small business—management, strategy and operations—all of which are tightly integrated. The management process provides a framework for hiring, training, and managing people to produce results. The strategic process defines your short-term, as well as, your long-term goals---where you want to take your business (earnings, sales, and revenues) and how you will get there. The operational process provides the roadmap, tools, and resources for getting there.

The Small Business Life Cycle: 5 Stages of Small Business

In the small business life cycle not every business will go through every stage, and not all small businesses will succeed as a result of these stages. However, they are proven stages or small business that are an important part of running a small business, whether from home or from a formal office.

Stage One

The first stage of any small business is obvious – establishment. At this stage, the business is being created, planned and the early days of its operations take place.

For some, this is the only stage that a small business may see, as it is by far one of the most difficult to survive. Many things can go wrong at this stage; thus, good business planning a crucial and necessary part of it.

Without a good business plan, it is impossible to get a small business off the ground, running and eventually moving through to the next stages of its life cycle.

Stage Two

The second stage of small business in the small business life cycle is the growth period.

During this stage, a business has an initial time of negative profit until it breaks even and begins to show increased revenues that allow it to truly grow. This is also the stage that the real test of a business comes into play.

How the business is managed and how it is able to compete within its designated market will determine whether it will survive, heading to the next stage - or whether it will decline and reach the last stage of its life.

Stage Three

The third stage of small business is about expansion. This is the point at which a business gets to the point where there is sufficient revenue being brought in so that there are no doubts of its survival and it can expand its horizons.

This includes taking on staff, expanding the office space of the business or even investing in equipment to deal with a larger base of clientele. This stage also entails producing more products if necessary.

Stage Four

The fourth stage of small or other business is about maturity.

The business is now stable enough to survive most unforeseen circumstances. It has enough backing, capital and support to ensure that even if the market becomes unstable, it can pull through.

This may be accomplished by rearranging its management plan, getting rid of one product to replace another or adding an additional product to an already existing product line.

However, if the market declines, it may survive, though its profits may take a temporary slide backwards.

Stage Five

In the small business life cycle the fifth stage of small business, is about decline. In fact, it is the easiest stage to reach for any business because it is the point where a starting business will fail.

An existing business, even a mature one, can decline in profits, take heavy losses and eventually either fail or cease operations to avoid further losses. As any small business owner can attest to, the stages of business are necessary and a normal part of the small business life cycle.
