Description

Scaling a small business is always challenging. Sometimes, “winging it” feels like the best tactic that a growing team can do. But what about when a party like private equity enters the picture?

Those investors want to see more concrete processes that can be scaled and don’t rely on knowledge that only resides in various minds across the company.

Laura Gergle, VP of Project Management at Pest & Termite Consultants in Raleigh, NC, tells us how effective project management and documentation of processes and initiatives isn’t just healthy for your business. Effective planning will make your company more attractive to outsiders looking to invest.
