Hearing news of the global effects of recession makes many people shy away from the idea of starting their own business and makes those who already have businesses nervous about how best to keep them thriving. While it's true that worldwide economic matters make us feel rightly cautious about starting fresh ventures, and investing our time and hard earned money in new pursuits, the reality is that there are many types of business that are statistically proven to thrive during hard times.

In a recession many businesses of all sizes feel the need to cut costs: often this means reducing their outlay on premises or the number of staff they employ. In light of this some business owners decide to operate on an online basis only, therefore forgoing the expenses of a bricks and mortar concern.

The booming success of the Internet and the fact that it is so accessible (we can now get online on our PCs, laptops, electronic notepads and even our mobile phones) means that the World Wide Web represents a new and highly economical trading ground for great deal of industries.
Why is this?
There are a number of significant ...
... factors, but in times of recession, the low cost of Internet business is a real bonus.
And Internet business is low cost. Aside from requiring no specific premises from which to operate (many Internet business can be run from home with very useful tax benefits) there's the simple matter of expenditure on paper production (corporate stationery) which can be noticeably reduced when a business is run predominantly from an online location. So flyers, order forms and brochures can be made available on companies' websites or sent to customers as email attachments. This means speedier communications between companies and their clients. Information can be sent in a matter of minutes via email, while the snail mail equivalent can take days. Business phone bills can be reduced too, as email can be sent anywhere in the world for a nominal cost. In addition, if the business does operate from home this represents a dramatic cut in travel costs - no more driving or paying travel fees to get to the office. It makes sense, not only as far as financial considerations go in a recession, but with the growing awareness of environmental issues, to reduce our carbon footprints in such a major way.

Now really is the time to start an Internet business, or even adapt an existing concern to operate online. If products and services can feasibly adapt to an electronic format or online environment, the Internet is the ideal place to do business. Businesses such as publishing houses, franchises, software companies, design services, architects, and accountants, amongst others, all have the potential to do well on the World Wide Web.

The Internet is in many ways reflective of the real world, but it moves faster: so faster returns on investment and time can be achieved. To survive a swiftly changing world of commerce business owners are urged to acknowledge the simple difference between print media and Internet communication: The Web allows direct real time communication with a prospective audience; print does not offer this. Also, the Internet is flourishing and boasts an ever-growing number of global users all the time, so it offers businesses the chance to sell product to a worldwide client bank that they would never be able to access from a bricks and mortar base.
