Growing Without Breaking the Business: Why Profit Isn’t the Same as Cash

Growth Is Where Many Good Businesses Break
🔹Sales increase.
🔹Staff numbers rise.
🔹Pressure builds.

And suddenly the business feels tighter, not stronger.


The Growth Myths That Cause Damage
1. Profit Means We’re Fine
Profit doesn’t pay suppliers or wages.
Cash does.

2. Tax Can Be Sorted Later
Tax timing decisions made late drain growth capital.

3. Growth Fixes Inefficiency
Growth magnifies problems.
It doesn’t solve them.

4. Structure Can Wait
Structure that worked before growth often fails during it.


Safe Growth Is Planned Growth
Smart growth looks at:
🔹Cash flow strain points
🔹Tax timing, not just tax rates
🔹Structure before scale

Growth isn’t about speed.
It’s about control.
