Think back to your business’s early days, when it was just you, an open Word document, and a blooming idea to build something great. When your business was just starting, it likely became apparent quickly when it was time to expand: you needed office space, extra help, a decent computer, and other resources. Expansion made sense — without it, you couldn’t get the business off the ground. But when your business is further along, it’s not always so obvious when you need to invest capital into expansion.
