CFBS Coffee Session

The Growth Traps (Part 1)

Why Growing Businesses Get Stuck & How To Fix It

Your business is growing. But is it becoming stronger — or are your problems simply becoming bigger?

Hosted by Centre for Family Businesses & SMEs (CFBS), this Coffee Session brings SME and family business owners together for a practical sharing on the common challenges that appear when a business starts to grow.

Sham Afzan, Group CEO & Senior Business Advisor of Action Business Advisors Malaysia (ABA Malaysia) will lead the slot. 

We will explore four common Growth Traps:

Lack of Clarity — Growing without clear direction and priorities

Unstable Cash Flow & Profitability — Sales grow, but cash and profit remain under pressure

High Dependency — Too much reliance on the owner, key people, clients or suppliers

High Complexity — The business becomes harder to manage as it grows

You will also have the opportunity to reflect on which Growth Trap may be affecting your own business.
