Wildshark prove you can go from zero to hero in just over a year

Local SEO firm achieves wild success and growth with no outside investment, only talent and skills

LYTHAM ST ANNES, 24^thOctober 2014 - Proving you don't need bundles of cash to get a company started and quickly achieve success, Lancashire internet firm Wildshark SEO has achieved runaway levels of growth since opening its cyberdoors only 15 months ago.

The company specialises in leveraging the power of the internet for small- and medium-sized businesses, providing low-cost strategies to ensure they're picked up by the major search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing and returned high in users' searches. SEO - or search engine optimisation - is a crucial part of helping to ensure success for firms in the internet age.

Wildshark now employs seven people and has plans to take on more as the SEO agency expands. Since launching in July 2013, the firm has grown at a stratospheric rate, with a six-figure turnover in just 12 months. This was achieved by focusing solely on its IT professionals' SEO and inbound marketing skills and expertise and not taking on any external investment, as is often the case with start-ups. Wildshark also did not take out any bank loans and is in the enviable position of having no debt at all.

Wildshark founder and director Mark Preston said the scramble among new firms for investment may not always be the best option, as start-ups become saddled with additional responsibilities and demands and carve up their enterprises before they've even had a chance to get going.

"I sit at home watching TV programmes such as Dragons Den and The Apprentice - which are two great shows, may I add - and it seems that everywhere I look within the business world, business owners and directors think the only way they can grow is by taking on investment or having bank loans," he said.

"If you are good at what you do and provide a first-class service, there is no reason any business cannot grow organically, so why give away a big chunk of your business for a short-term cash injection?"
