However, it is essential to consider several important factors before you finally decide to push through with your expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what are the things you should be asking yourself before growing your business?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Always check your tax obligations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As a small business owner in Australia, taking the next step would mean hiring several new staff for your business. This is essential because you will delegate some of the everyday tasks to your new team as you increase the volume of your services and products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, having new staff members will often mean new tax obligations. Keep in mind that you\u2019ll be paying their salary as well as contributions.  Speak with your accountant as you will likely need to register for PAYG withholding<\/a> and payroll tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You need to make sure that you\u2019ve followed all the tax guidelines and also have secure record-keeping practices to keep everything organized and make yourself accountable for all new taxes that you need to take care of now you have staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. You need to effectively manage your team<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you plan on expanding your business, it\u2019s essential to ensure everyone on your team is on the same page. You will depend on them during the whole expansion process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They will also be sharing your vision for the future, so you need to remind them that their honest feedback and constructive criticism is always welcome in your company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s always better to ask for people\u2019s opinions, rather than just telling them what to do. Make sure everyone has the freedom to show their strengths, so they can bring value to your company and help you when you scale up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why regular communication is paramount to your success.  Developing a platform for your team to express their ideas and concerns will be your most asset when scaling up your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 3. Systemising your business operations for efficiency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you want to streamline your business operations<\/a>, then you must systemise all your processes to increase your productivity. This applies to all aspects of your business, including onboarding, HR activities, customer relationships, and financial operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, streamlining the activities in your business doesn\u2019t only mean purchasing the flashiest software to automate the whole process. It would be best if you also mapped out all the other means to reveal any inefficiencies or gaps in your day to day operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For you to effectively systemise your process, you need to create a process map that will help you see all the steps required to reach the outcomes you desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Know the costs of your expansion and your expected revenue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You may want to move into bigger premises or invest in staff development, which might include courses and education certificates. You might also be thinking of getting new equipment for your office like tables, desks, computers or new software to automate your processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If these are the things that you want to achieve, then you\u2019ll need to use a sales forecasting tool to aid you in determining your future cash flow as well as knowing your revenue growth, in light of your new expenses and sales history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During these times, you might want to talk to a financial advisor to help you determine the best funding option for your business. They can also help give you an idea of how much capital you will need to fund this growth, but at the same time \u2013 keeping your business operating as usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Consider your options for funding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you want to grow your business, you\u2019ll need to consider all the points I have discussed in this review, including the most crucial factor in any expansion \u2013 capital! In fact, you won\u2019t be able to scale your business without it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Security Necessary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main thing that makes unsecured loans more attractive than secured loans is the fact that they\u2019re no security. It might be an obvious thing to highlight but it clearly matters. You won\u2019t be weighed down by the pressure and worry associated with having collateral hanging over you and potentially being lost to the lender if you fail to make repayments. If you don\u2019t want to take the risk of losing your collateral, you just need to opt for an unsecured loan instead. It\u2019ll allow you to avoid any risks associated with secured loans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Build Up Your Future Credit Score<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By taking out a loan and then paying it off on time, you will help to build or repair your credit score. Many companies are dealing with poor credit, but by taking out an unsecured loan with a lender that is happy to lend to companies with poor credit, you can start to turn the situation around. Meeting regular repayment deadlines shows the world that you are able to stay on top of your financial obligations and pay off the money you owe, and that will only help your business going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Your Business Might Want to Take Out an Unsecured Loan<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are lots of reasons why your business might take out a loan, as well as reasons not to. You shouldn\u2019t take out a loan to cover running costs, but if you want to do other things, such as the things we\u2019re going to discuss below, an unsecured business loan can be ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grow and Expand <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most entrepreneurs have big plans for their businesses. They want to ensure that their business is one that\u2019s got a bright future. So if the time has come for you to grow and expand your business, you should think about whether taking out an unsecured business loan might help you to do that. It could be exactly what you need to get your business moving in the right kind of direction. It takes money and investment to grow your business and a loan might just be the ideal solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take on More Clients and Customers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your business doesn\u2019t currently have the resources to deal with more customers and clients, it could be time to scale things up. However, that\u2019s something that costs money, whether you like or not. Taking out an unsecured business loan could help improve the resources your business has available. It could mean hiring more people so that you have the human resources needed to take on more clients and make more customers happy. The loan will cover the costs associated with doing that and it\u2019ll pay for itself if you\u2019re able to improve your profits as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fund a New Marketing Campaign<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe it\u2019s the case that attracting new customers to your business is where your problems lie. It\u2019s not always easy to get your voice heard and make people aware of why they should be taking notice of your business. An unsecured loan could be used to fund a new marketing campaign that gets your message out there and makes more people interested in your business and what it\u2019s offering. So if you have an idea for a marketing campaign that you think might work but you don\u2019t have the financing for it, consider a loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
