In short

What is growth strategy?

A growth strategy sets where a company will grow and how it will get there: by building, by buying, by partnering, or by preparing for a sale. For an established company, the strategy decides which deals to pursue, which to decline, and what the business must look like to be worth more at exit.

Most owners work hard on growth. Fewer work on what a buyer will pay for. I put both on the same page, so every move you make adds to the value at exit.

    Questions

    What clients ask about growth strategy.

    What is the difference between organic and inorganic growth?

    Organic growth comes from the existing business: more customers, new products, new markets. Inorganic growth comes from acquisitions, mergers or partnerships. Most established companies use both, and the strategy sets the balance.

    What is a buy-and-build strategy?

    A buy-and-build strategy acquires a platform company and then adds smaller companies in the same or adjacent markets, so the combined group is worth more than the parts.

    When should I start preparing for an exit?

    Ideally two to three years before you plan to sell. That gives time to fix what buyers will test, such as reliance on the owner, customer concentration and the quality of financial information.

    Can grant support cover strategy work in Singapore?

    Possibly. Siong Yoong is a Registered Management Consultant (RMC-10272) with business strategy among his registered domains, and SS 680–certified. Ask Enterprise Singapore whether your project qualifies before you engage.

    Do you also run the deals the strategy points to?

    Yes. VALLARIS™ advises on the acquisitions, partnerships or sale that follow, so the strategy and the deal are owned by the same adviser.
