How do business founders not only start a business but ensure sustainable growth for the future? This book provides the tools and understanding that enable successful business growth at the scale-up stage.

Scale-up and Build Your Business distils the author’s two decades of working with high-growth, high-performing independently owned and managed businesses, including Cobra Beer, Hotel Chocolat, Belvoir Cordials, Thatcher’s Cider, Pacific Direct and Go Ape. Over many years David Molian and his colleagues have identified both the drivers that accelerate growth and the blockers that prevent it. Through case histories, industry analyses and numerous examples this book details five key challenges faced by ambitious entrepreneurs, and documents how they overcome them. For each key challenge, this book describes the accelerators and bear traps which will help or hinder the journey to successful growth and the creation of long-term, sustainable, independent value that translates into successful exit.

The lessons within this book will be invaluable for policymakers, advisors and ambitious business founders who want to turn a start-up into a successful and sustainable company. In a period marked by uncertainty and economic stagnation, this guide is more vital than ever.
