Save The Economy – Buy a Small Business

Kristin Rublaitus — Wed, 09 May 2012 14:26:47 +0000

These days, it seems that everyone is inclined to believe that our economy and unemployment problems are an issue to be solved by the government.

However, let’s look at this from a different angle. Rather than depending on politicians to create jobs, perhaps we need to move past those thoughts and look to a solution in which they aren’t even a part.

In case you are unaware, it is not big business that does all the hiring. Instead, it is our nation’s small businesses that hold this power. Statistics show that for the past 17 years, 65% of net new jobs and 99.7% of all employer firms are small businesses.

By initiating a movement that gets money into the hands of the employers who are actually doing the majority of the hiring, we can be making a much larger impact on our own economy than many people even care to realize.

While many people visualize small businesses as small coffee shops, salons or yard care services; the reality of the term “small business” is much broader. Small businesses can include anything from the aforementioned to small staffing businesses, small manufacturing businesses, small agricultural businesses, small medical and healthcare businesses, small architectural firms and more.

The better situated our small businesses are, the sooner they can do more hiring and we can watch our economy grow from our own contributions before our very eyes.

One way to get cash flow back into the hands of small businesses is to buy from your local small businesses when you need a service or product. Another is to simply pay any invoices if you owe money to your small business service providers – your web designer, local doctor’s office, the landscaping business who does your yard work, the exterminator, etc.

These small businesses also make terrific acquisition opportunities if you are looking to buy a business. Buying a small business is not only easier that starting a business from scratch, there are numerous benefits to buying small businesses including established customer bases, management systems, processes, procedures, vendor relationships, reputation and so on.

To review all of our business opportunities including both large and small businesses for sale, please start a search at Corporations4Sale and let us know how we can help you find the small business you are looking to buy today!

Rebound in Home Building and Car Sales Boosts Retail Sales

Kristin Rublaitus — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 15:22:19 +0000

Retail sales posted a solid gain in March, jumping 0.8% for the month, dropping only slightly from the 1% gain in February. This is however, much stronger than the predictions of economists surveyed by Briefing.com, whom only anticipated a 0.3% gain.

The largest, a 3% increase, was shown at building and garden supply retailers, showing renewed activity in home building and construction.

Strong spending was also shown at car dealers and auto parts retailers, which had a 0.9% increase.

Another fantastic area in which to pursue a business for sale – the auto industry:
Automotive Aftermarket Manufacturing
Global Car Wash Systems Manufacturing Firm
Full-service Golf Cart Company

When you remove car sales from the mix, spending on other items was up by 0.8%. High gas prices are giving a boost to gas station spending, but when you exclude that, sales still gained 0.7%. All in all, spending is up. Clothing stores increased 0.9%, general merchandise stores increased 0.7%, as did spending at online retailers.

Mfg Retail/Commercial Interior Displays/Components
Full-service Party Equipment Rental Company
Retailer of Indoor and Outdoor Heating Products
Award-Winning In-Store Marketing Firm

While you might expect that the high cost of gas would interfere with money being spent in other areas, this does not seem to be the case. “Households are starting to contribute more to the economic recovery just at a time when industrial activity appears to be easing,” Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics wrote in a note to clients Monday.
He cautioned, however, that some of the gains in March could be due to temporary factors, such as the warm weather spurring building activity and clothing sales, and the introduction of the new iPad helping the demand for electronics
