Hello Friends

1)Cut Costs:It is imperative to manage your cash flow when surviving a weak economy. If cash flow gets out of hand, that’s when small business owners whip out the white flag and start filing for bankruptcy.Cutting costs means finding ways to keep more money in your bank. Trim the fat off of administrative expenses. Look at your expense budget lines.
2)Open Lines of Credit:When small business and the economy collide, it usually happens at the doorsteps of lending institutions.
3)Ask For Government Help:The U.S. government knows that surviving a weak economy for a small business is tough business. However, they also know that small business is the backbone of the American economy and want to help keep them thriving. That is why there are numerous small business loan programs offered through the Small Business Administration (SBA).
4)Rethink Your Marketing Strategy:Surviving a weak economy doesn’t mean you should cut your marketing budget. However, it does mean you need to squeeze every ounce of marketing effectiveness with every expenditure.

Have a nice day

Good. Thank you for saying that you shouldn't cut marketing. That is normally the first place cut and the last place you should. I do agree to squeeze all you can out of it thought. Good post.

I would add that many times outsourcing is a good way to go on some of your services. Don't think that you are hurting the economy by not having some employees, they are hired on as other businesses increase their size, such as the firms that service you in these areas. They hire and you save. Win, win.
