UPSIZE STAGES is a series of guides detailing how to operate businesses at distinct stages in their life cycle. This is the second guide to be published, Upsize Stages: The Early Years. Business owners whose companies thrive often point to a multi-faceted reason: steps taken, decisions made and systems put in place during the first few years. Yet in the heady and hectic days of a company in start-up mode, it can be easy to overlook the foundation work. This guide is intended to succinctly help companies with all facets of the challenge, and introduce them to local experts who can act as trusted resources. Upsize reporter Andrew Tellijohn interviewed many sources to prepare the articles, including business owners who have successfully started businesses; accountants, attorneys, bankers and other financiers who help young firms with documentation and capital formation; and technology, management and marketing consultants who specialize in helping companies through their early years. Contact information for major sources is at the end of the guide. The guide includes excerpts from Q&A interviews with experts who work with early stage companies.
