Recession Is A Good Time To Start A New Business

A recession is actually a good time to launch a new venture. If you have a great idea for a new business, you may be wondering whether it is wiser to wait out the economic downturn or to jump in now. Here are seven points to consider in favor of starting sooner rather than later.

1. The best time to start a new business is always — Now! If you have a good idea for a business, chances are you have been formulating and refining your idea for some time. Waiting to act on a good idea rarely provides any advantages. Acting now puts your company farther ahead in the learning curve. A year from now, do you want to be a year into your business or just starting out?

2. Commercial space is cheaper. Rent costs on office, warehouse and retail space is usually lower in a recession. Real estate costs are down in a recession and vacant commercial space is abundant. A recession is a great time to lock in a lease with options to renew for several years to come resulting in significant savings for your company in the long-term.

3. Talent is easier to come by. More people are looking for a job in a recession, so the talent pool of employee candidates is larger than normal. With any startup, you want employees and partners who are committed to making your company a success. In a recession, anyone who is willing to jump on board with a startup company is going to be highly committed to making a personal investment in your company. You will likely be able to hire, and then keep, the best people when the economy is struggling.

4. Frugality becomes ingrained. Keeping overhead costs low in a recession is a habit that pays dividends when the economy improves. If you can start and run a business on a shoestring, you will be disinclined to become a spendthrift later, even when the economic climate improves and money begins to flow freely again.

5. Tough times toughen companies. For any company to survive an economic downturn, smart, tough-minded policy decisions are required. Every decision must be made with painstaking clarity and based on unsentimental logic and data. A company that begins its life in a “trial by fire” will be that much stronger and more nimble when the recession lifts
