How to Grow Your Micro-Business
Overview
Looking to expand your micro-business (a company with fewer than five employees)? Insights from a Statistics Canada survey might point you in the right direction.
Insights from the Survey
According to the report "Growth Determinants of Micro-Businesses in Canada" by Evangelia Papadaki and Bassima Chami from Industry Canada, the survey highlights several key findings:
- Sources of Advice: Micro-businesses often turn to family, friends, customers, and suppliers for guidance. Accountants are more frequently consulted than lawyers and bankers.
- Education: High school completion is linked to business growth, while college or university education isn't seen as critical for success.
- Owner Characteristics: The age, gender, or immigrant status of business owners don't significantly impact growth.
- Growth Factors: Success is associated with a willingness to delegate, take risks, and share ownership. Expanding into local markets is more crucial than pursuing export opportunities.
- Innovation and E-commerce: Thriving micro-businesses tend to innovate and engage in e-commerce.
Opportunities for Entrepreneurs
These findings offer encouraging insights:
- Professional Advice: You don't need to spend heavily on professional advisors to achieve growth.
- Education and Demographics: Higher education and demographics like age or nationality aren’t prerequisites for success.
- Delegation and Innovation: Being open to delegation, innovative thinking, and risk-taking are vital. Utilizing the internet and e-commerce can significantly enhance local business expansion.
Consider these questions to assess your growth potential:
- Are you delegating tasks and sharing ownership?
- Are you open to taking calculated risks?
- Are you innovating and leveraging e-commerce?
If your answer is yes, your micro-business is well-positioned for growth.
