Growth company is a business which generates increasing earnings. The rate of increase should be faster than overall economy. Investors look for growth companies, because especially in the first phase of growth they can be profitable investment. However, when everyone on the market knows that the company is profitable, it is better to think twice before purchase - it can be worth less than market price.

Growth companies can be found more often in new technologies. If the company enters completely new market it can easily increase sales and rapidly grows. On older markets, where there are many competitors, it is very difficult to gain such an advantage. Today large companies look for future growth companies among start-ups. They are able to buy many start-ups cheap, before they grow. Even if some of them won't bring earnings, they will earn on others.

The most known growth companies are e.g. Tesla, Amazon, Apple, Alphabet.

Apple

Apple's impact on economics and culture competes with the most important companies in the United States. Apple is a company that creates standards. It's all thanks to their perception of technology and creation. By introducing upgrades to homes, Apple and Samsung make lawsuits. They became some kind of opponents.

Some people have reported that this company wants to move the television market. Through the device that will be able to transfer it live.

The first prototypes of Tesla vehicles were made thanks to Elon Musk, his $6.5 million contribution and storage in Silicon Valley.

  • Shortage of skilled labor - Growth companies may lack the necessary skilled labor needed to fulfill their growth plans. This could lead to delays in their expansion efforts, which can slow the growth of the company.
  • Regulatory issues - Growth companies may have difficulty navigating the regulatory environment, which can limit their market access. This can also lead to costly legal fees that can eat away at their profits.
