COMMENT | Original editorial opinion. The best corporate success story is one that survives an adverse quarter.
The context
Investors and founders frequently celebrate growth rates without examining the mechanism behind them. Revenue concentration, payment delays and staff turnover can undermine a rapidly expanding operation.
Our analysis
Our editorial view is that resilience deserves equal billing with scale. Businesses that understand working capital, contingencies and the costs of customer acquisition have a stronger foundation for long-term ambition.
What to watch
The important question is not whether a venture can produce one impressive headline, but whether it can sustain performance when conditions change.
