Growing your business requires strategic planning, effective
execution and a keen understanding of your market. Having sufficient funding in
place could help you on your journey.

LendingCrowd was created to fund the ambitions of businesses
across Britain. We combine cutting-edge technology with vast financial
experience across our team to provide fast and affordable business loans from
£75,000 to £500,000 that help SMEs to develop and grow.

Starting your journey

Before you begin, you should define your business goals and
be specific about what you want to achieve. Set SMART goals, making sure your aims
are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound.

It’s crucial to know your market and understand what your
customers – both existing and potential – need and want. Keep an eye on
industry developments and customer behaviour so you can identify market trends.

While attracting new customers can help your business to grow,
don’t lose focus on your existing client base. Go above and beyond, exceeding
your customers’ expectations, to encourage repeat business.

Developing a detailed business plan, including financial
projections and market analysis, will help when putting your growth ambitions
into action. An accountant or financial adviser could help to analyse your
plans.

Set for success

Growing a business takes time and effort. By staying
committed to your goals, you can set your business up for long-term success.

It’s also important to make sure that taking out a loan to
fund growth is the right decision for you and your business. If you
ever find that you are in financial difficulty, you should let your lender know
as soon as possible so you can work together to find the best solution.
