Some may think that a small cash advance is a loan, or similar to it, but it is neither. It is a cash advance secured by future credit card sales of a business. It is a life saver for many businesses in their economic struggle. Without the availability of capital, many businesses will fail. A lot of businesses are struggling now due to the economy. Consumers are not buying as much as they were last year. The economy will get a boost again, but businesses need to have cash to keep their businesses afloat till the storm passes by. This is where a small business advance would come into play.A business can get a cash advance by this method without needing collateral or good credit. When businesses go to a bank, they are generally turned down if they have bad credit or have not been in business for at least 2 years.

Have you ever noticed how many times the simplest small business marketing ideas end up working the best? Who ever said small business marketing has to be hard? I'm constantly amazed at just how powerful some of the simplest concepts are. There are many small business marketing ideas that cost next to nothing and really require little to no additional extra work to begin bringing in more business every month. Unfortunately, the problem with simple marketing ideas is that many small businesses are so quick to excuse them. Intelligent small business owners and independent professionals just like you mistakenly believe a marketing idea has to be sophisticated and intricate to be really valuable. WRONG! In fact, it's completely the opposite that's true. The more complicated the idea, the less chance you have of making it work. Simple doesn't mean well thought out. It just means not complicated.
