Scale-Up; a proven formula for success

It’s a safe bet that the majority of entrepreneurs who are part of Vistage have big ambitions for their businesses.

It’s also likely that many are either already in a phase of rapid growth or are about to embark on that process. This is a very distinctive part of the company life cycle, one that makes extreme demands of business leaders due to the speed and magnitude of change in this phase, is widely accepted.

That’s why in this whitepaper we are taking an in-depth look at what has been christened ‘scale-up’. While the term ‘start-up’ entered the business lexicon many years ago and is widely understood, scale-up is less familiar. For practical insights we turned to the Vistage Chairs, speakers and partners who have worked with hundreds of companies at various stages of the scale-up phase.
