Small businesses have generally been on the receiving end of many of the economic improvements being made over the last several years, and that has put many of them in a far better position when it comes to expanding.

At this point in the year, many of the nation’s small business owners have been able to successfully complete and submit their tax filings for 2013, and may now be waiting on a refund check from the Internal Revenue Service.

One of the biggest obstacles many small businesses have faced in recent years is that when they want to expand – such as by hiring more workers, investing in new equipment, or moving to a bigger space – they have simply not been able to obtain the credit often necessary to do so.

Over the last few years, the number of jobs created by small business owners have been sizable, but it’s important for owners to keep in mind that they may still face some serious difficulties in hiring as they move forward, even with the economy being more robust than it has in some time.

The economy has been in a slow but steady recovery mode for some time now, and that has allowed many small businesses across the country to see improved bottom lines which in turn allow them to bring on more workers.

Over the past several years, many small business owners who have been hoping to put their companies in a better position to succeed through expansion may have found that obtaining financing to do so hasn’t been easy.

These days, many small businesses may be able to get a better foothold in areas well beyond their own ZIP codes by going international, which has been made possible by the proliferation of the internet and a greater focus on globalization.
