Conserve Capital

Regardless of your capital source, payday advance or not, you must conserve it simply because money is scarce and whatever you have in hand, use it wisely. With that said, here are ways to do so:

* Don't purchase products and services unless and until you need them. You have to account for lead times, of course.

* Don't commit your cash/capital until you absolutely have to.

* Lease a room instead of buying the whole unit. You won't have to worry about ownership obligations like real property taxes and mortgages, both of which can lessen your profit should you pay for them.

* Purchase double-duty office equipment so as to save as much money as possible. For example, buy a fax machine that can make photocopies, too.

Soon enough, you will delightedly discover that your small business weathers the storm of the financial crisis. After all, business is about good financial management more than anything else!
