    It may seem strange to suggest that there may be dangers associated with a company growing too quickly. After all, in a perfect world any company we invested in would significantly increase turnover and profitability in a very short space of time. Unfortunately, there are some rather nasty side-effects when a company is growing too quickly which can have a detrimental impact on the share price.

    When a company is growing too quickly then there might be some hidden reasons. It can be negative or positive both. For security, a trader should first analyse that company's profile and past performance in which you are going to invest your hard-earned money.

    Cash flow can be put at risk if a company is growing too quickly and offering credit to customers. Cash flow is the key to any successful business - whatever speed it is growing at.

    Cash flow should be protected first and foremost because there is no point having all of the orders in the world if you can’t fulfil them because of cash flow issues. We have seen many “high-growth” companies burning through cash at a phenomenal rate leading to the stereotypical crash and burn.
