Today a news article quoted Chief Executive Eric Schmidt of Google Inc. (GOOG) who said the single most important thing for the economy is to get lending to small and midsize businesses going again.

As small businesses begin to get ready for a more optimistic new year, there are a number of factors to watch out for including the fact that companies are going to be hiring again, so it is important that you not let others steal your own employees. Because some of your employees may have suffered with cutbacks, they may be looking for opportunities to make more money to pay off their bills.

Also be careful about what you spend money on, now that business is getting better. Priorities might include a new security system, or computer, but wait on things that are not really important such as new furniture for the lobby. It is key to think about paying off any debts and beginning to save money again.

Many businesses have learned how to use invoice factoring to stay afloat during the recession. And that tactic can be continued after the new year begins. It is a great way to pay down your debt, while keeping cash flow strong.

Small businesses might want to think about using single invoice factoring, or spot factoring, to bridge the gap between debts versus income. Spot factoring is when you factor only one invoice at a time, so you can use this on as as needed basis until your business is back on track again in 2010.
