For example, if you own a ton of equity in your start-up, you can give up a little bit to get services like advertising, etc. There are exchanges that let you do this (e.g. http://services4stock.com). A good way to conserve needed cash and weather the storm. I think another suggestion is to find innovative ways to get things done that don’t require spending money.

Everyday I hear of sellers trying to get out of their business because of their "situation" and I can see that these are bargains to be had by savvy entrepreneurs. Many owners are just upside down with their debt structure, but if you buy it without debt, or seller financing, all of a sudden the business is cash flow viable again. You must have a keen eye for sorting out these gems, otherwise you may just fall into a lease trap and get a migraine. Due diligence, and second opinions is what you need to eliminate some uncertainties and make for a smoother purchase decision. It is business buyer's market. mrfranchiseman In this economy I suggest those who are on solid ground and can afford it should take advantage of the Established businesses for sale out there.

I blog, use html email and currently am embarking on a past customer program to re-introduce myself, plus I am surveying existing customers to improve my current services. The trick is to be a moving target. Don't let the economy happen to you, stay positive and get out there. It's so easy to come up with upteen reasons why you can't do something. Leave the doom and gloom to the news casters, there are people out there who need your help. Make it easier for them to find you! I’ve embraced the web, and expanded my potential market.
