What to consider if you want to expand

When planning your expansion, it’s essential to examine the various factors that will determine your success.

Here are the main points to keep in mind:
Financial planning – First things first, you’ll need a robust business plan. Is there any funding available? Look at local authority objectives and consider whether your application could link to them. Check UK Sport and Sport England for initiatives as well
Location – Collaboration is key. You’ll need to work with the planning office to see if they have any obligations. Make sure to work with the landlord as well and outline your business plan
Policies and procedures – Review your existing policies brazil rcs data and consider if they cover multiple sites. If not, consider overhauling them
Advertising – Don’t let marketing efforts for your new facility be an afterthought. Look at what channels you can use – email newsletters, social media or even flyers and posters. Consider offering new members a discounted price for joining when you open. See our marketing blog posts for more tips
Streamlining your business – Analyse areas in which you can make efficiencies across multiple sites, like recruitment. Will you upskill or promote staff from your existing team, or hire new staff members?
Alternatives to new premises – things you can do at your existing location
If opening a facility in a new location isn’t an option for you right now, there are still things you could do at your existing premises.

Expanding at your current site
This could be something like building a bigger changing room, or renovating a store room to become a café.

Be mindful that building works are likely to be subject to planning permission from your local council. The cost of carrying out the work will also need to be factored in. Because of this, increasing the size of your facilities may not necessarily be a cheaper alternative to opening in a new location.
