It depends on whether or not they have the money now.  A lot of 
businesses got on the habit of paying their operating expenses with 
lines of credit, and then paying those off when customers paid them. 
It's effective, but risky because you depend on that credit.

With the recent credit crunch, suddenly these businesses have no way of 
paying the bills.  You can argue all day long about how spending a 
little money now will save you a lot later, but what if you can't pay 
the salary of the people you already employ?
