Which signal is most reliable before expanding an enterprise?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Consistent demand, profitable operations, and resource availability
Expansion increases fixed costs, operating responsibilities, and financial risk. Consistent demand shows that sales may continue, profitable operations indicate that the model can support growth, and available resources make implementation feasible. One unusually busy day or informal advice is insufficient evidence for a major expansion decision.
