Are There Still Business Opportunities in Today’s Economic Climate?
Business opportunities for the individual are on the rise said a world famous economist renown for accurately predicting economic trends. The economy is booming and will create 10 million millionaires over the next ten years. This was a year ago. Given the current economic recession do you still think this is possible? Has this guru of economic predictions finally got it wrong? Could you perceive a scenario where these predictions could possibly happen in today's conditions?
I believe that this is still possible. In fact, I believe this guru is still right on target. It was also said that the wealth was transferring from the large corporations to the individual entrepreneur because the larger corporations were dismantling. The millions in wealth that would have been in the hands of a relatively few major corporations would end up in the hands of millions of individuals.
Could the current economic crisis be a precursor to this? Certainly the power base has shifted although there may be a few optimistic bankers who disagree.
With so much tax payer money used to prop them up, the power base had better shift to the individual. We should not have to go through so much pain only to see nothing change. Remember, the banks have not only had our money to bail them out - it was our money they lost in the first place.
Basically, this is the era for the little guy. The best business opportunity now is to set up your own home based business. After all this is what 85% of you have been telling the poles you want to do.
It was predicted that millions of individual entrepreneurs will share the wealth that was hitherto held by the large corporations. The contention is that the economy is in great shape and if you position yourself correctly, you will prosper.
Will the Current Economic Downturn Boost the B2b Franchises Industry
We have all heard it, recession proof franchise. It is being used by hundreds of franchisors now in their marketing material but what does it really mean?
Quite simply it means a business which is not affected by slow growth and cuts in spending. This sounds as simplistic as it does stupid, how can a business not be affected; surely all businesses must be affected to a certain extent? It is however possible that where someone may not pay thousands of pounds for a holiday, instead they may pay a few hundred pounds on a new TV (home luxuries), and if we go down the line a bit, someone with less resources may not pay hundreds of pounds for a new TV but may pay for a new Xbox game, and one step further, someone who can no longer pay £30 for a new Xbox game, well, in all intents and purposes is broke.
There is no such thing as a recession proof business. Every business is going to be affected in one way or another, the recession proofing of a business is entirely dependent on the upper management's ability to adapt to current spending and demands. This however was not the subject of the article.
How can the franchise industry benefit from an economic downturn? Again we have a simple answer:
As more people are being made unemployed, many with redundancy packages, there are more people available for employment and purchasing a franchise, a ready made business to take the place of their old job and one with a track record of success. In particular B2B franchises are taking off as seeing an increase in sales due to more small businesses being set up to cope with the demand of higher unemployment
