Organic growth is the rate of business expansion through increasing output and sales as opposed to mergers, acquisitions and take-overs. Typically, the organic growth rate also excludes the impact of foreign exchange. Growth including foreign exchange, but excluding divestitures and acquisitions is often referred to as core growth. In simple words, it refers to growth achieved by internal investments of the firm. This could be the day to day business of the firm or a division of the firm starting a new business from scratch. This is distinguished from growth by acquisition or merger which involves an outside firm. This term is commonly used in the Finance and brokerage industry to indicate the growing of a Financial Advisor's / broker's book of clients. This is completed through in depth meetings to discover of other assets the client already has and bringing them to the Financial firm through transfers or ACATs.
Often, companies that grow inorganically are able to do so because of deep pockets which come from either huge margins of the present or great parentage. The sustainability of such an endeavor is proven by the company's future progresses and past track record.
