My view is from a prior shop owner. It's a really rough market here so you need to either be top notch in your trade (I'll share someone that is later) or be prepared to lose money from what looks like here on out.

Why? Because repair rates are too close to replacement costs.

What kind of business? are you building PCs? are you fixing them? are you talking about an online business? are you an advertiser? or you a publisher? do you have your own stuff to sell online? please elaborate your question.
