Q: How do I decide how much to grow my business?

A: This is something that should be set out in your business plan.  Consider your production capacity and your supply chain limitations;  what scope is there within them to grow, and what could you do to increase them?

Q: How can my computer equipment make a difference to my business's bottom-line?

A: Work it hard. Computer software such as Microsoft Office Professional gives you the capacity to do things that other people charge you money for doing.

For example, using Microsoft Outlook, you can set up a Customer Relations Management system that gives you databases of leads, prospects and clients.  You can categorise them according to where they first heard of you (giving you information about what marketing works best), products that they're interested in or buying, which helps you target future marketing to them and so on.
