Absolutely, capital is far easier to get a hold of during a boom. But too much capital will kill a start up faster than too little any day. Seems counter intuitive to say that but I've seen it happen on a small scale many many times. When you don't have a big wad to spend and have to finance things out of operations you are forced to make tough decisions every single day. Every single operation has to make money so you kill money losers fast. Nothing like natural selection to tell you what works and what doesn't.

You can get shell shocked laid off employees with reasonable salaries This is not always so the great ones are being held on to or have left seeing very well the potential of the business is limited. I don't know about the vendors in all businesses but from my experience the good ones becomes more cautious knowing they are needed and don't need to take you as a risk. Yes there are always vendors who products might not be quite as good not saying they won't be but rather you as an owner take a bit more risk too in using these products. I suppose it all depends on the size of the business as the great now forge on their own trying to maximize opportunity and minimize problems. Laughing here as the concept is right either way as long as the end result is positive.
