Grow your Own — Growth Companies

Abstract

At the time this book was envisaged, in 1989, one of the key new markets pursued by professional firms was so-called growth companies. The definition of what constituted a growth company was open to interpretation but the term was used as a catch-all description. Growth companies are those newish ventures which demonstrate the capacity to grow into substantial companies and to generate a high quality of fees. Regrettably, the recession came along and knocked the idea of a growth company on the head.
