We are seeing the same tough times over here in the UK. I work in Corporate Recovery and have predicted 6 of the last 3 recessions

Business sales are proving tough, commercial property even tougher. Good business for us right now overall though!

Well the problem with many large companies are that they are afraid of change and they are not used to making sudden changes. For small businesses its a lot easier to deal with economic downturn because they can change their business strategy quickly as changes happen in the economy.

Not sure I agree Saad. A lot of small businesses are reliant on the larger corporations as their main or only customer. We are seeing a lot of bad practice here, with the big boys extending credit terms and knowing they can get away with it.
