They are not taking out regular loans for payroll. Small businesses feel fluctuations much more severely than large corporate businesses and are often seasonal. It is not at all uncommon to depend on their credit line down during the down periods and make it up and more when their busy season comes around. Their business is falling off fast, and they need their credit line to get past the down economy which is exaserbating their situation.
