In order to improve the life span of an IT business, the business owner should consider the fundamental structure the business operates from.

Longevity is dependent on the businesses own ability to function independently of its owners input. A business owner will naturally move onto new projects as he or she grows professionally. This process of growth will also be replicated within the way the business works, therefore the businesses ability to function on its own, growing and progressing independently, will highlight its individual ability, and its longevity.

This is why it is important to consider the structure of the business, because this is the ground on which the business works upon. A business that functions on ground which is unstable, will be unstable in operation, and vulnerable to the threat and competition of other businesses as well as the general challenges of business operation in the world.
