A recent article, 5 Things to Consider Before You Open More Locations by Kyle Zagrodzky says that launching a successful business is not easy, but once you have proven that your idea is viable then opening one or more locations is alluring. Nevertheless, opening more units if not done properly can pull your business in a dangerous direction—the risk of losing it all.
Here are three factors to consider before you open another location for your business in a commercial office space.
- Why do you want to open another location?
Don’t be misled that more units will promise more income. Before opening another unit, explore every ways and means to satisfy that inner need to do more. Book a meeting room and brainstorm with your team to find an easier, safer way to fulfillment that will protect everything you’ve worked for instead of put it at risk.
- Are you strongly confident in your first business?
You should evaluate/review your existing processes before opening a second business. Systems and processes should be streamlined that employees know precisely what to do and everything runs efficiently even without your direct supervision. If that’s not the case, opening another location in Agile Office Space Denver will stretch you too thin.
- Get the right people before you take the plunge.
To open another branch, you need to hire and train new people to run the new unit using the same proven systems as before. Aside from having a specific set of leadership and supervision skills, you need to ask yourself if you’ll actually be happy to take on a completely different role.
