When Entrepreneurs Make a Decision to Hire

It’s a bittersweet moment: the point at which entrepreneurs realize they can’t do it all alone, no matter how many long hours, nights and weekends they burn through.

The customer base has grown just a little bigger than can be serviced without sacrificing quality. There are just too many orders to fill or too much product to manufacture, market and distribute without help. Chaos reigns as the small business swells to burst the confines of the basement, the dining room and kitchen call center. It’s time for Mom and Pop to get some outside help, time to kick operations up to the next level.

To make sure that unmanaged growth doesn’t hinder a young business, it’s important to start with a business plan.
