Going Virtual: Can It Work for Your Business?

This article talks about someone that works exclusively via the web. Can that work for a lot of businesses that have a store front currently? Many companies are now remotely operating their business in the managing of their business and the organization of the business. Some companies are even strictly just via the Internet. Amazon is a great example of a company that exclusively only sells their products online. They do however have a headquarter location physically located in Arizona. Would this work for a lot of other companies? Some companies have even began to set up their employees virtually by having them work remotely, thus saving in the physical location needed. But, I question, what will these changes do to the economy and how great of a loss of jobs will be seen with more companies moving towards these types of business organizations?

With Fifth Third Out, Banks Have Repaid 99% of TARP

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704261504576205142438418336.html?mod=googlenews_wsj

I found this article to be interesting. This talks about how banks have repaid 99% of TARP funds that were given to them during the recession. What this means for businesses is that banks no longer have the burden on their shoulders to repay the government and instead will be able to borrow more money to individuals or re-invest their money within their organization. For the banking industry this is great news. For the private sector this is also great news. With interest rates at an all time low, business should be able to easily secure a loan and reinvest with their organization. There is no reason that a business should not take advantage of this opportunity to help their-selves grow and succeed.
