DRIVING GROWTH

What took a company from start-up to its current level is often not what's needed to achieve the next growth phase . New products need to be introduced or new markets need to be entered—but which should come first?

 

At the same time, the organization is growing, and it's essential that everyone understands the strategy so the team moves in the same direction and stays motivated to achieve shared goals. Investors also need to be convinced of the new direction to attract additional funding .

 

This requires a clear strategy and a business plan that clearly outlines priorities and financial prospects. Start 2 Scale helps you make these choices, set priorities, document them clearly, calculate them, and translate them into action.

STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT

Develop a clear strategy together. It should be concise, easy to communicate, and provide direction for the business plan and its execution.

BUSINESS PLAN & MODEL

Based on the strategy, arrive at the goals and priorities for the next three years and an execution plan for the coming year, including financial consequences

FUNDING READINESS

Make sure you are prepared for the next funding round: figures are in order, plan and model are ready and administration is due diligence proof

An organization can't improve anything it doesn't measure. To manage growth, it's essential to have clear insight into performance, progress, and financial results.

 

This means not only good reporting, but especially relevant management information that guides decisions and investments. Clear KPIs, OKRs, and dashboards ensure that everyone knows where the organization stands and where the focus should be.

 

In addition, a rolling forecast and budget help you look ahead, calculate scenarios and make timely adjustments.

 

Start 2 Scale helps organizations create these insights, professionalize management information, and strengthen the financial function — so that decisions are made faster, better, and with more confidence.

PROVIDE INSIGHT

MANAGEMENT REPORTING

Develop reports that don't just look back, but also help guide the process. Clear, visual, and aligned with the company's key goals.

KPIs & OKRs

Translate strategic goals into measurable results and visualize performance with clear KPIs and OKRs. Use dashboards to track progress and keep teams focused on what matters most.

BUDGETTING & FORECASTING

Implement a rolling forecast and budget cycle that is not static, but provides continuous insight into future scenarios and financial scope.

Growth requires not only increased revenue, but also efficient processes and an agile organization. Many scale-ups lose their grip as complexity increases—costs rise, processes slow down, and responsibilities blur.

 

To grow sustainably, resources must be deployed where they add most value, and (financial) processes must be scalable and reliable.

 

Start 2 Scale helps organizations reduce costs, streamline processes, and strengthen their financial organization — so growth doesn't come at the expense of control or quality.
