This work is intended to be of use to self-employed small business owners who are looking to expand but are reluctant to become an employer due to the numerous hassles and responsibilities it entails. It provides a guide that should help smaller organisations decide which course of action is right for their business, and set them on the path to successful expansion. Containing over 50 practical tools and techniques developed with the help of the Department of Trade and Industry to assist expansion, this book demonstrates that it is possible for a business to grow without an owner having to sacrifice either freedom or independence. Topics covered by the text include: preparing for growth; involving the family in the business; creating a teamwork culture; using subcontractors; recruiting employees; and setting up and managing a business network.
