The life cycle of a business is commonly broken down int0 5 distinct time frames:
- Development – the most exciting time in the cycle. Fresh ideas are flowing, business plans are created, logos are drafted, vision and mission statements come to be, and life is good.
- Introduction – all the creative work done in the development phase is put to task as the new business is introduced to the public.
- Growth – the business establishes a reputation and begins to grow as a result of that reputation.
- Maturity – the business has found its spot in the world. Best practices are established, more people are hired, and the business has become a part of everyday life for many people.
- Decline – the time when businesses face the fact that they are no longer financially viable.
