Successful business planning relies in part on knowing where your business is and where it is headed next. All businesses have a life cycle and go through stages of startup, growth, maturity and transfer. The way in which each business progresses through its life cycle is unique. There is no set time frame for each stage and no hard-and-fast rules for determining when a business is ready to make the transition from one stage to the next. However, each stage does have its own distinct characteristics.
