There are a lot of ideas out there on how to grow a business. But essentially, they all boil down to just five ways to keep your company growing:
 

1. Introduce a new product or service
2. Open new location
3. Improve the customer experience
4. Hire new staff
5. Start a new business

Chances are, you’re considering at least one of these ideas for your company. And even more likely is that there’s something standing between you having the idea and being able to act on it.

Maybe you’re wondering: How much will I have to pay in the short-term until my growth ideas start generating revenue? Is opening a new location worth months of cash flow drain until we achieve the expected results? Is the new contract worth the upfront equipment and staff expenses while we wait on the revenue it promises? And then there’s the big question: how will I pay for it?

Financing is the key to managing these concerns and making big ideas a reality. Properly structured equipment financing can help you add new business or contracts without straining your cash flow. Access to flexible growth capital allows your new location to get up and running and start generating revenue without draining cash reserves. Equipment finance and growth capital together offer a scalable way to build a new product line or improve your customer experience.

Are you ready to get moving on your growth ideas? Whatever your plan to keep your business growing, LEAF is here to build a financing relationship that can help make it a reality with less pressure on budgets and cash flow.
