also offering aspiring and existing entrepreneurs an opportunity to control their own destiny in a still challenging job market.

Besides bank loans, other avenues to get financing are being created, including borrowing against equity in your home at all-time lows and rolling over 401(k) investments into a business without penalty.

3. Commercial space is available.
Given low interest rates and market space available, it's a buyer's market not only on residential homes but commercial leases as well.

4. Franchisors are helping with initial and ongoing expenses.
These days, with credit so tight, franchisors are making it more affordable and offering more support to own a franchise.
