Why Grow?

At Grow, we save our clients money in the following ways:

1) We improve business productivity. No more paperwork for you and your staff. No more tedious effort spent finding the “right” piece of software or service provider. Instead, you and your staff can leave the back-office tasks to us and focus on driving your business…and that usually means more revenue and more growth.

2) We improve your back office and prevent problems down the road. Poor records, incomplete paperwork, and incorrect accounting procedures can all cost you money at some point. By hiring a professional staff, you reduce the possibility of accounting losses, late paperwork penalties, etc.

3) We reduce stress. It’s a fact that stress hurts productivity. Because our service is completely scale-able, you never have to worry about getting all the checks out, making sure invoices are paid, etc. Because you have one designated point of contact at Grow, you never have to sacrifice any of the control or information that you need to run your business.

4) We do it all for less than half the annual cost of a single employee. Because you can pool your resources with other small businesses, the cost of working with Grow is much lower than the cost of hiring your own staff

We know that starting and running a small business is hard – very hard. It’s no secret that 80% of new businesses fail. All of us here at Grow have seen the devastation of a small business failure firsthand and we hate it! Employees lose their jobs. Owners often lose their entire life savings. These failures can have destructive impact on the community and to the families of those involved. This is where our passion comes from.

But we also know that being a small-business owner can be one of the most rewarding achievements in life, and that the risks of failure are often worth taking.

Still, the small-business arena is tough. Large companies have entire departments to take care of tasks that small-business owners have to do themselves. Small businesses also pay on average 34% more than big businesses for the same products and services. Grow, LLC helps to correct this imbalance. When you work with Grow, you have many of the benefits of a large corporate structure at a fraction of the cost.

Our method is simple: We help business owners’ and staff stop wasting time working on tasks that don’t drive growth. Because we take over the tasks that many business people don’t enjoy – accounting, bookkeeping, payroll processing, etc. – we increase the efficiency of your business.

We find that when small business owners and staff no longer have to busy themselves with back-office tasks, they are re-energized. They can stop worrying about paperwork and re-engage, working ON their business instead of IN it.

Accounting, compliance and back-office tasks represent approximately 80% of business operations. The other 20% is client–facing, such as operations and customer fulfillment.

Interestingly, the back-office operations are nearly identical for every service company on the planet. This is important to understand, because it means that doing these things yourself is unnecessary. We have the staff, the tools, and the systems to manage all your back-office operations for you.

By outsourcing your accounting, bookkeeping, payroll processing, etc. to Grow LLC, you’ll save time…and that will make you more money.

When working with Grow, the return on investment is easily calculated. Both soft and hard costs are eliminated. Those costs include:

• Internal Employee Salary
• Applicable Taxes, Benefits, and Liability with Managing Human Capital
• Loss of Productivity in Relation to:
  • Turnover
  • Training
  • Sick/Vacation Days
  • “Bad” Hires
• Accounting/Payroll Systems
• Double Data Entry / Data Entry Errors

Grow uses best-in-breed solutions that most small businesses cannot afford. With economies of scale, Grow has been able to secure enterprise level systems that are fully integrated with each other. By removing the number of systems, programs, and humans involved, costs are significantly reduced and accuracy is significantly increased. That is how Grow maintains low fees for service – the savings are always passed on to the client.

It may be that you love your business so much you can never imagine doing anything else. However, if and/or when you find that your passion for your business starts to fade, it’s critical to have good books. When you hire a professional 3rd party to help manage your business operations, it’s much easier for a potential investor to see the value in your business. Hiring Grow today can mean selling your business for a tidy profit down the road.
