A digital agency based in south Staffordshire is aiming to double its turnover every year for the next five years.
Wombourne-based eighty3creative was set up in 2008 with just £80 in the bank.
Last year, the company turnover doubled to almost a quarter of million pounds after using a £5,000 grant from the Staffordshire Means Back to Business scheme to pay for business consultancy and coaching.
Now it is eyeing up further growth with plans to create new jobs in the future.
Craig Slater, co-director of eighty3creative, said: "We've worked hard to help businesses during the pandemic to get online as quickly as possible, but when our business plateaued, we needed professional business expertise to help is work out how to grow, break into new markets and develop the business.
"Thanks to the business coaching and planning advice that the grant paid for, we're now a full-service digital agency that's rapidly growing and taking on new staff."
Grants of up to £5,000 are available to small businesses based in Staffordshire from the partnership scheme that brings together funding from the county, district and borough councils.
The cash aims to help businesses thrive through the pandemic and can be used in a range of ways from buying new kit and machinery and business advice to getting set up to trade online.
Staffordshire County Council's deputy leader and cabinet member for economy and skills Philip White said: "Staffordshire is a great place to start and grow a small business which are the life-blood of our economy. That's why the Staffordshire Means Back to Business scheme to help businesses to thrive and not just survive is so critical.
"An extra £1m of investment in the local economy has now been approved by cabinet, meaning that even more businesses can join the 670 that have already received a 'To Thrive' grant."
Councillor Roger Lees, leader of South Staffordshire Council, added: "We're delighted that by joining forces with the county council we've been able to help more businesses like eighty3creative to grow through the scheme."
