The 6-18 months following launch of an enterprise or start-up are critical. Once a prototype has been launched and is in the market, a key priority is to achieve growth. Known as scaling up, this growth process typically requires achievement in three core areas:
Achieving product / market fit: Continually developing your product and business model to ensure the widest and deepest possible growth in terms of users;
Growing the human resources and decision-making capacity of your firm: Ensuring that your talent and governance structures are continually evolving to meet growth requirements;
Securing finance: Making sure you have the financial resources to grow, either using organic cash flow or external financing.
This presentation will offer a brief roadmap to prepare for your scaling up journey. It will include practical tools, methods and advice for different aspects of scaling, and outline some common pitfalls seen along the way.

Avante Logixx (XX.V / ALXXF) has built its reputation as a preeminent security company by providing premium security services through the use of advanced technology and a focus on client service. Avante’s security business provides a complete suite of security services ranging from system design, sales, installations, and monitoring to services such as alarm response, patrols, personal protection and secure transportation. We were initially attracted to the company because of the significant growth in both revenues and earnings. The company has shown consistent revenue growth over the last three years and was able to grow sales by 43% in the last 12 months from $6.15 million to $8.82 million and earnings from a loss of $57,000 to a profit of just over $1.3 million giving evidence to the leverage within the business. Management and directors are well vested in the company and own approximately 45% of the 59 million shares issued and outstanding. Shares in Avante currently trade at a price earnings ratio of 15.8 times, significantly below the industry average of 29. The company has a solid balance sheet and has accumulated over $1.5 million in cash and has zero debt. We expect growth to continue both organically and now with a healthier balance sheet through accretive acquisitions.
