Creating an SOP is critical to the growth of your business because it removes guesswork from the way your team operates. When processes live only in people’s heads, your results depend on who’s working, how much they remember, and how they interpret instructions. That creates inconsistency, slows down training, and makes scaling harder than it needs to be. Clear SOPs give your team a shared standard to follow so work gets done the same way every time, no matter who’s responsible.
