There are many options when it comes to getting financing for your small business. Conventional business loans, including secured business loans, working capital loans, and business lines of credit, are available through banks and credit unions. Banks may also offer other types of small business loans, such as unsecured business loans, and financing for equipment loans for commercial equipment. However, getting the financing you need for your business through a bank or credit union is easier said than done.

Since the recession began, small business owners have struggled to get the money they need to start or grow their companies. If you’re an entrepreneur, then you know the story. Most likely, you’re tired of spending a great deal of time and effort on completing business loan applications only to be turned down in the end. While it might seem like there are no other options, the industry is booming with companies that offer unconventional loans, such as merchant cash advance opportunities.

From underwear sales to coffee sales, below are some of the stranger signs that the economy may be recovering in 2011:

Coffee Sales

When people don’t have money they drink less coffee at the local cafes. Recently, coffee store sales have been picking up. Starbucks’ net revenues increased 9.5% in 2010, after falling 6% in 2009.

Men’s Underwear Sales

When it’s tougher to find jobs, men wait longer to replace their underwear, and sales — usually very stable — fell nearly 2.5% in 2009. Now they’ve started to stabilize. But, much like the unemployment rate, it’s likely to take a few years to recover to pre-recession levels.

Internet Searched for Unemployment

The number of Internet searches for “unemployment benefits,” “unemployment office,” “Social Security,” and similar terms spiked in July 2010 and has been trending down ever since. New unemployment claims have also been declining for several month snow.

Dessert orders at Restuarants

When times are tough, people eat less and cut down on desserts and appetizers. The National Restaurant Association says more customers are ordering sweet endings again. That’s a sign that they aren’t as worried about losing their jobs. In fact, the Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index is over 60 again, after plunging to a recession low of just 25.
