Default Credit Crunch
Hi everyone,
I was wondering how the credit crunch was affecting everyone and how they were getting round it to bring in the business. It is very quiet in Ireland but I know it is a worldwide problem.

I think things are slowing down just because its the end of the year.. I have had a few people take a little longer to pay than in the past, but I don't know if thats the credit crunch.

I have noticed that a few of my clients are slowing down but business overall is up. I have a few new prospects and just started another client. I think with the state of economy we as VA's are going to see an increase in business as small business owners hire contractors instead of emplyees to cut costs.

Good for our business, hard for the little guy!

Yes I agree, VA's do have a big advantage in relation to costs. I was speaking to a lady who works in an Recruitment Agency recently and she said that lots of employers are only taking on temps as it gives them complete flexibility.
