KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Scale-up is certainly about leveraging finance and investment in order to be able to address more needs, to grow and to develop. But it’s also prudent to use your money wisely, and to make sure it’s being utilised effectively.
• What ultimately drives the cash-flow of a company is the combination of how fast it can grow its revenues, and what kind of return-on-capital it earns.
• The market is generally very smart about distinguishing companies based upon their performance. Those with faster growth prospects and higher returns on capital, will typically end up with higher multiples.
• In the current climate, businesses should be focussing upon ensuring that customers and suppliers are being well taken care of. 
• A good investor will always bet on the business, and not you as an individual. Selling yourself is useless if you don’t have the correct economics behind your idea.

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘What ultimately matters is how big it can get and how profitable it can be’

’Do you bet on the jockey, or do you bet on the horse?’

‘It’s the strength of the brand that drives the cashflow’

‘An economy like this accelerates the decline of weaker businesses'
