It’s difficult to predict your company’s rate of growth. You need to be prepared for a period of rapid growth, with the resources on hand to handle an expansion of business. It could prove disastrous to be scrambling around for hardware and IT personnel at the last minute. On the other hand, if you enter a period of slow growth while you have extra resources on hand, they may go unused and drain your capital.
