Five Phases of Investment Planning

Dropping cash on business assets is actually a survival strategy, not a shopping spree.

It is called investment planning, and it determines if your company lives or dies.

You never just guess; you follow five specific phases. It starts with a pain point,

like a production bottleneck or a new law forcing your hand. Then you hunt for

options, weighing cold hard math against things like reliability and eco-friendliness.

Once you pick the winner and pay up, the job isn't done. You have to audit the results later.

Skip these steps and you aren't investing, you are just gambling with your future.
