AI appreciate this list, but it is severely lacking any tips for leading a company financially from small to medium-sized. It is well known that companies that make this leap often find a lack of both debt and equity capital to help them. Too big and too small are common responses when these companies look for the right financial partners, and they rarely if ever hear "just right."

I would add to the article that the strategic leadership team should have at least one member that has been through the small to medium transition before and knows how to maneuver a company through the financial pitfalls that often beset so many who try!
