Does your business offer a service or a product that you differentiate through a higher level of service?

The more of your supply you get from a single provider, the more vulnerable you are to that supplier deciding they don’t need you and instead deciding to go straight to your customers.

You probably already know that a customer or employee dependency can undermine the value of your business, but have you ever stopped to think how one of your suppliers could also lead to a valuation drop?

If you’re stuck, it’s worth asking if you have the right people in place to take your business to the next stage.

Specializing, and giving your team standard operating procedures, gives your employees the mental breathing room to be creative and the structure they need to thrive.

The initial impression customers have of your business often influences how much they decide to spend with your company.
