What to do when you are ready to scale up

Manufacturing for small to medium size businesses

You’ve taken your hobby and grown it into a business or you need to figure out how to get a wood or metal component made without buying all the extra equipment. Now what? Perhaps it is time to think about scaling up or outsourcing. There are a lot of factors to consider when deciding to take your business to the next level such as time, cost, space for storage or equipment, and the list goes on.

The first step is to determine if you have time.

When scaling up you either have to put more time into what you are doing to make more product or spend money to upgrade your process. If you have the tools required, you may just need to put more time into the making of your product. That could mean less time with your friends and family, but for the short term, that may be an option.

The second step is to determine if you have the space.

Do you have the space in your workshop for the additional equipment needed? The other part to that question is do you have the space to store your extra pieces once they are made? Space is precious and again, there are many factors that go into setting up a working space efficiently. If the right tools aren’t where you need them, time and energy is lost going back and forth across the workspace.

The final step is the big question - cost. 

Spending the money to upgrade equipment and potentially find a new space is a big question and only one you can answer for your business.
