๐ Growth Opportunities
Real Estate: Purchasing real estate and billboard permits & leases is a prime opportunity to expand the business.
Design & Sales Team: The addition of a design and sales team also has the potential to improve expansion efforts and market reach. Returning to the companyโs roots and re-introducing hand-painted signs presents another opportunity to add to an already solid service roster.
๐ฉCons
Limited Scalability Without Real Estate Ownership: The growth insight provided suggests that purchasing real estate and billboard permits & leases is essential for expanding the business. However, acquiring real estate and permits can be capital-intensive and may involve complex negotiations with property owners and regulatory authorities. Additionally, without owning the necessary real estate assets, the business's scalability may be limited, as it would rely heavily on external factors and partnerships to access prime advertising locations, hindering its ability to expand geographically and compete effectively in the market.
