Could It Be? Some Light On the Horizon?
We have slogged through the end of 2008 and the first half of 2009 and where are we? Thankfully there is better news on the horizon. Our office has seen and heard a positive outlook from the current owners about the future of their business. Buyer activity has slowly increased compared to this time last year.
There is a great deal to be excited about. We can see the bottom which means the only place to go from here is up. We may not shoot up like a bottle rocket, but we can see a level market that could turn into some positive growth in 2010. It may not be a “V” recovery but steady and flat means no loss and no loss is a first since late 2008. Market recovery means money flowing, money from clients wanting to travel and banks willing to make business loans to support the small business owner all this means liquidity after several quarters in a cold freeze.
How can we make the best of this situation? Imagine the possibilities that you can reap as a business owner if you take the time now and setup your operation for the recovery of the market. Companies who make strategic moves now can look at a greater return when the market comes back full force.
Americans in general think it is there right to travel. They have the right to go and relax and take their two weeks off a year. Image when the spending public is ready to release the stress of not traveling in the last year and half. Americans are going to travel and travel they will in full force. It could be a explosive 2010-2011 time for our industry.
