Expansion Potential
New customers approach the company, without any money being spent on marketing. Being constantly busy has meant values have grown by 31% during 2016 and further growth is expected in 2017.
However, the owner has purposely restricted sales growth based on man hours available and his own time constraints.
There would therefore be no problem in growing future sales at it is not uncommon for prospective customers to be turned away should they not fit in the vendors perceived easy geographical delivery area.
Expanding the product range would be a way forward plus investment in marketing or developing a website for online sales orders and delivery arrangements. On the road salesmen could also be employed. All of these possibilities could attract prospective clients who in turn would add value to turnover and profitability in the future.
