Expand Or Not Expand

I opened my school in September of 2005 with close to eighty students and now we have more than one-hundred. Of course, I feel very positive about the future, but I don’t know what I’m going to do about space. We’re a one-room dance school with most of the prime-time hours for classes already filled up.

If I stay where I am, I will start to make a profit this fall, which I consider a wonderful thing. But, I could end up in a place where I’m turning students away. Or, I could move to a larger space, more rent, more teachers, etc. If I choose the latter, then I’m going to go more in debt. Do I stay where I am or move on to a bigger space with bigger expenses? Another thing that concerns me is the personal attention I currently offer my students . . . I think that’s why I’m growing so fast. This is hard for me, what would you do? Thanks--Sarah
