Four Phases of Business

All businesses have a life cycle. They start with an idea of providing a service or a product. When an entrepreneur writes the idea on paper, the idea begins to take form and shape. However, it only blossoms into reality when the entrepreneur takes a risk, i.e., invests money, gets a loan, quits his job, etc. At that point, the business is born. And just like a living being, it goes through different stages. We have grouped the various stages of a business life cycle into four major phases: Start-Up, Growth, Expansion, and Mature.
