Posted on: October 18th, 2016

If you have the capital that you require to help your business grow, then here are three things that you can do:

Hire the Best Talent and Grow Your Team

The first thing that determines the growth trajectory of your company is whom you have on your side. We mean, of course, whether you have the right people on the company’s staff to help your company grow.

No matter what the size of your business, if you do not have the right people in place, it will be challenging to gain traction. Often middle market companies have too many family members on the payroll or have incomplete management organizations.

Use the funds at your disposal to hire the absolute best people and experience company growth as you never before! If it the best investment a company can make to differentiate itself in the market.

Roll Out the Red Carpet for Loyal Customers

Once you have a loyal customer base, you may think that you need to focus on attracting new ones. Converting potential leads into definite customers may be one strategy for business growth; however, it isn’t the only one. Instead, pick out who your core customers are and make your product or service better for them.

Use innovation and higher levels of customer service to address a fuller spectrum of customer needs. Take advantage of customer loyalty to adapt your business model to more of what your loyal customers want.

Adapt to Changing Dynamics

As a start-up, you kept this rule close to your heart. Now that your business has established itself, it does not mean that you should stop following it. Monitoring the small ripples in the huge ocean that is your market may take more than just time.

It will also require you to switch marketing strategies that you already spent money developing. Do not be afraid to dip a toe in the ocean of new ways of doing things if will help your business grow.

It may be different, but you may be extremely successful in trying new ways of doing things. Following the three steps mentioned above can be quite easy if you have the funds for it.

In the acquisition financing arena, capital availability is destiny as companies require reliable access to capital to grow over the long term. Unforeseen capital needs usually arise when acquirers least expect it. This can cause some concern for the acquisition financing provider, especially when covenants tighten up and that working capital availability is utilized faster than expected.

Mezzanine debt borrowing is usually a straightforward activity that many companies use for funding of transitional growth. Mezzanine debt lenders are highly transparent about their due diligence approach and their post-closing loan management making it easy for companies to engage with.

Elections have consequences and positive ones at that for the acquisition financing middle market. While much media attention is paid to the direction of the yield curve and the Fed’s likely rate cuts, scant attention is paid to the more important drivers of the acquisition financing market – business psychology and regulatory climate.
