small business growth
Startup scaling up
Small business growth is the expansion of a company with relatively few employees, typically measured by revenue, workforce, market share, or physical footprint.
The phrase appears constantly in economic policy discussions, where promoting small business growth serves as shorthand for supporting entrepreneurship and local economies: Tax incentives aimed at small business growth.
Growth may be organic or achieved through investment and acquisition.
