5 Stages of Business Growth Template for PowerPoint & Google Slides

This business growth slide visually outlines the five critical stages of business growth—Existence, Survival, Success, Take Off, and Resource Maturity—against the axes of company age and organizational complexity. Each stage is presented in a bold, color-coded vertical panel that clearly communicates the evolution of a company’s growth strategy and its corresponding challenges. The slide uses a clean linear flow with an upward-curving line to depict increasing complexity over time, helping viewers grasp progression at a glance. Key characteristics of each stage, such as “growth through creativity” or “crisis of control,” are succinctly summarized in bullet points beneath each header, making the slide both insightful and easy to read.

This template’s structured layout supports high-impact communication during strategic planning, investor pitches, and organizational audits. The clear vertical segmentation and minimalistic text layout allow presenters to isolate each stage while drawing strategic comparisons. Its visually appealing design includes rounded color blocks—blue, orange, green, blue, and purple—ensuring visual consistency and engagement throughout the presentation. Fully editable in both PowerPoint and Google Slides, the slide enables users to update terminology, add logos, or adjust colors effortlessly to suit their brand.
