Failure to deliver unemployment checks, disaster! The agricultural financial assistance, is slow and complicated. The failure to manage all of the assistance programs collectively has caused great harm and a lack of confidence. Opening up businesses will not work if we don't have confident clients. What will the economy look like a year from now? Terrible for the people who have been left behind. If you are looking for a indicator of economic confidence, ask the seed people about sales to all those out planting gardens believing the economy is going to get worse, way worse, for those with only a couple bucks left in their pocket

I deal with agriculture which has seen bad years, in the immediate past, last year was bad. The big issue, what is coming? The uncertainty is the big issue. Last year government made big payments to keep agriculture going, but it ended up mostly paying old debt. The big question in the economy, will creditors attack debtors ? In the housing crisis it was a free for all of foreclosures, bankruptcy, seizures, across the Nation. I already see that starting to happen.

Reading these comments, brings up the big financial issue most of these businesses are missing. Many communities will see foreclosures, home, businesses, farms, commercial sites. As government allows opening of the economy and people forget about the closure of the economy , quietly the banks, investors, government agencies will foreclose on everything they can find a way to take. That has been the case in the past. But we have never seen such a economic disaster as the current crisis. I expect massive takings. Yes, I own a business.

My farm sales have come to a stand still. We sell live feeder lambs at this time of year. The phone has stopped ringing. We have 25 years experience selling at this site. I have been here before. The problem is Oregon government at all levels has never shown the slightest interest in being helpful. Land taxes, permits, irrigation bills, and many other bills will be aggressively pursued this spring. We will see business doors close. The governor has signed a executive order on cap and trade, pushing overhead up, for small business and rural areas, at the worst possible time. In 1995 Oregon adapted extreme policy requiring homes and businesses to convert to natural gas, in mass. The state couldn't manage and by 2000 the whole project was in bankruptcy, dragging many with it. We need a steady hand right now, and I don't see it, and apparently many consumers don't either.

Advertising should be a service to the client, a source of information and of high value. Do not bad mouth your competition, pay attention to your business and clients.

Most important, get the doors open, phone turned on, completely ready to provide goods and services, and know what you are doing. You must make sure people can find your number, email, location, and exactly what it is you provide. It is the real basic issues that will keep you from finding your first clients. I have operated a automotive electric / electronics business, operated farms wholesale / retail, veterinary medicine, bought and sold land and houses, built electronic fences.
Need to make some money to pay people, always a start up problem. In the beginning of a business a owner must come up with a gut sense about products and services, you can't hire marketing if you can't say or produce written directions! This is a period new business must endure.
