Cruise Mode

When a business is operating in cruise mode, their profitability and consistent cash flow means they are no longer classified as a ‘start-up’, however they have hit a plateau and are showing limited signs of growth and progression. BIAS identifies this mode as a crucial phase, where if risks and challenges are not appropriately managed they can easily slip back into survival mode.

BIAS has identified phase 2 as cruise mode. When a business is operating in cruise mode, they have progressed past the initial start-up phase and are showing enough profitability and cash flow which can potentially be sustained on an ongoing basis.

 

When a business is in cruise mode, it is at high risk of easily slipping back into the survival mode if it is not effectively managed. It is common for a business who is in cruise mode 2 to fall into the trap of being ‘too comfortable’ and as a result, lose the ability to significantly progress and continue to grow.

 

Businesses who are in cruise mode face the challenge of maintaining their focus on continuously keeping the business moving forward. This ongoing progression and growth will ensure you hold market share and maintain an edge against your competitors.

 

BIAS offers businesses in cruise mode a wide range of effective and affordable services. Our qualified professionals will conduct a financial analysis on your business, introduce a more sophisticated financial system if necessary and report any warning signs before they potentially cause major issues. We also provide a financial ‘sounding board’ when there are any significant financial decisions which need to be made, enabling you to implement a proactive strategy as opposed to being reactive.

 

The team at BIAS will work closely with you to give you clarity on how well your operations and finances are performing.
