I couldn?t agree more, 2010 seems tenuous at best and likely to remain bleak as availability of credit has yet to bounce back and banks and traditional lending sources continue to shore up their own capital reserves. What?s encouraging is that the recession has pushed small and midsize businesses (SMBs) to take a hard look at their working capital management and the flexibility with which they can access capital. Cash is still king! These SMBs are positioning themselves to take advantage of an economic turnaround when it happens, and they?ve turned to alternative sources of financing to do it. We (The Receivables Exchange) see it every day, companies that have found a way to efficiently improve their cash flow and succeed in the face of adversity.

The expiration of the 50% depreciation is hurting the expansion and when businesses don't expand they don't hire any more workers. Also, the reduction in the business mileage rate (more info http://www.incometaxcoach-linda.com/2010-mileage-rate/) that will hit for 2010 is going to hurt many small business consultants.

Times Still Tough for Many Small Businesses
DeParle is only qualifying the data, not quantifying it- what small business owners need are numbers and facts: precisely how much would the premium variation be limited to? What number exactly is a ?larger? payroll and ?larger? number of employees? Simply saying ?most? certainly does not give small business owners ?peace of mind?. What small businesses need is actual policies that help them- for example, allowing them to purchase insurance across state lines, or letting them choose how to ?band together? and what policy to purchase.
