Home Based Businesses An Option During Recession
For many workers who have either lost their jobs, or experienced a reduction in income, the temptation to start a
home-based business can be irresistible. Home-based businesses and home-based
franchise businesses can provide a great “ready-made” opportunity to make money, but experts warn that many people who are hoping to cash in on a home-based business windfall are setting themselves up for financial disaster.
Workers need to be wary of home-based business opportunities that require high up-front investment or that promise fast returns. Generally, the most stable home-based business opportunities come from reputable companies with a long history of providing franchise support. Many home-based business opportunities involve sales, so if sales work isn’t attractive, look for non-sales based opportunities. Better yet, look into creating your own opportunities to make money at home.
Gap Reports Huge Growth In Online Sales
If you still think that Internet shopping is a “wait-and-see” proposition, guess again. Uber-retailer The Gap reported that its same-store sales were down by 8% for the second quarter of 2009, but its Internet sales jumped by 17%, to $191 million in the same time period. Overall, the Gap’s Internet sales now account for more than 7% of the company’s overall bottom line.

Try A Home Based Business Franchise
As a rule, recessions are good for franchising. High unemployment coupled with a desire to have more control over work life are two reasons that franchises become so attractive, especially during poor economic times. The home based franchise is a special category that affords the ability to work a home based business and gives the security of a franchise operation at the same time.
If you operate a home based business, or are looking to open or expand a franchise business, financing will be among your chief concerns. Banks may be unwilling or unable to finance you franchise operations, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find the franchise business financing you need to take your business or your home based business to the next level.
Rapid Capital Funding can provide you with the working capital you need to run your business, even when you can’t find a small business loan from a traditional lender. If your business accepts Visa or MasterCard, your business likely qualifies for a small business loan alternative from Rapid Capital Funding.

Try A Home Based Business Franchise

The unstable economy means that fewer people are employed in traditional positions.

Dry Cleaning Business Financing Service For Unemployed Patrons
A
dry cleaning business has extended its offer of free dry cleaning for unemployed job seekers in the Greensboro/High Point/Winston-Salem, NC area. Cleaner World President Chris Edwards says that unemployed patrons need only to bring their most recent statement from the Employment Security Commission as proof of need and Cleaner World will clean one suit or blazer and slacks, along with two dress shirts, or a suit and two blouses, or two dresses per week through December.
Cleaner World originally offered the service in March and planned to end the program last week. With continued unemployment in the area, Edwards says that the dry cleaning business is just doing what it takes to help neighbors in need.
Unemployment Affecting Retail Store Businesses
Retail businesses in the area are also feeling the pinch of unemployment. Retail sales were down 0.1% overall in July according to Department of Commerce statistics. Retailers are pulling out all the stops to entice shoppers into the stores during the all-important back to school retailing season.
The National Federation of Retailers issued a white paper earlier this year on trends that could help small retailers survive the economic downturn. Promising approaches include expanding Internet business opportunities, instituting customer loyalty programs, and offering private label goods as an alternative to more expensive name-brand goods.
If you’re looking for retail business financing to expand your product or service line, consider a business cash advance from Rapid Capital Funding. Contact us today for more information about how your business can self-finance its own expansion during the recession.

Franchise Business Financing Business Loan Alternative
In the past two weeks, nearly 2,000 automotive dealers have found themselves in a triple bind. Initially, they received letters from Chrysler and GM informing them that their franchises have been terminated. Some franchise agreements will expire in as little as 30 days while others will end sometime in 2010. Shortly after receiving these notices, dealers were also informed that they no longer qualify for financing from banks and other lenders. Worse than that, state laws prohibit some dealers from selling the vehicles remaining on their lots once their franchise agreements have expired.
This exceptional situation is playing out around the country and dealers are scrambling to find financing. While some dealerships plan to remain open, selling other brands, used vehicles and providing auto service, the loss of a franchise and financing hurts. Rapid Capital Funding can provide franchise business financing in a matter of hours. Unlike banks who instantly dropped these customers, Rapid Capital Funding will provide the financing your dealership needs to work through this rough spot.
A business cash advance can provide franchise business financing no matter what your circumstances are. Good credit, bad credit or no credit – no problem. Rapid Capital Funding’s business cash advance is a business loan alternative that delivers.
Contact Rapid Capital Funding today to learn more about this business loan alternative and how you can use it to get the franchise business financing you need in good times and bad ones, too.

is available for entrepreneurs who need help keeping their new business afloat. Recessions are typically the enemy of established businesses, but franchising activity goes up when the economy heads south.

Fortunately, Rapid Capital funding offers a business loan alternative that doesn’t rely heavily on your credit or business plans. You can get the franchise business financing you need without having to drain your personal savings, borrow from friends or relatives, or go through the wringer that’s waiting for you at the bank.
As a business loan alternative, a merchant cash advance is ideal. You sell a portion of your future credit card transactions and get the cash you need to expand, improve or run your business. There are no monthly loan payments and you don’t need to put up any collateral or make any personal guarantees.

Gas Station Business Financing: Merchant Cash Advance
A panel of experts brought together by the International Franchise Association says that while there is more franchising opportunity today than ever before, franchise financing is more difficult to acquire.
Gas station business financing is being affected by changes in the way credit is issued to prospective new franchise operators. According to the panel, lending is shifting mostly from national lenders to local and regional lenders. Some franchisees can’t get financing at all.
Most gas station businesses are independently owned. A franchisee may own two or three stations, but for the most part, operates as a small business. One key element in getting gas station business financing from a national lender is experience. For prospective franchisees, demonstrating experience in the franchise is exceptionally important.
At Rapid Capital Funding, we offer a bank loan alternative known as a merchant cash advance. This loan alternative gives you the cash you need to expand your business, pay bills, hire employees, make improvements or do whatever you need to do to make your small business operate.
With a merchant cash advance, your small business helps itself. You can get the gas station business financing you need by selling a portion of your future credit card transactions to us. You get the cash you need fast without a long lending application process, monthly repayment commitments, making loan guarantees or putting up collateral. We have the gas station business financing you need.
Contact Rapid Capital Funding today and see what a merchant cash advance can do for your small business.
