Starting Up in a Down Economy Nobody loves a recession*. But many successful entrepreneurs say that, in retrospect, they were lucky to have launched their businesses in tough times.
Understanding Profit Margins To be profitable, a company must operate efficiently enough to recover the costs of the product or service sold, operating expenses, and the costs of debt. Plus, the owner has to be compensated. Don't think you can skip that last part forever.
