There are 3 categories of firms :

• Hyper-growth companies : 5% of firms

• Controlled-growth companies (CGS) : 5%

• Non-expansionary companies : 90%

CGS COMPANIES

• Controlled-growth companies grew their payroll by 40-99% during a three-year period (compared with hyper-growth firms that grew for more than 100%).

• Controlled-growth companies represent 5% of the SMEs but create as many new jobs as the 90% (non-expansionary companies).

• They have a smaller percentage of failure during a 12-year period (23% to compare with 30% for hyper growth and 43% for non-expansionary SMEs).

• Controlled-growth companies are not avoiding growth, they just don't want to expand at more than a comfortable rate.
