As the credit crunch makes raising financing more difficult, small business owners are finding innovative ways to reel in extra cash.

Just ask day-spa owner Eva Sztupka-Kerschbaumer, who says she recently raised $30,000 in a single day. Her Pittsburgh,-Pa. spa, ESSpa Kozmetika Organic SkinCare, needed a quick cash infusion when a $12,000 microdermabrasion machine and two $1,000 facial steamers conked out in April. However, the last thing she wanted to accrue was interest charges, so she didn’t go to a bank to raise funds. And to avoid missing out on future profits, she also didn’t tap a factoring company, which provides cash up front in return for a cut of her company’s future receipts.

Here are four other ways to raise (and save) cash quickly:

  1. Offer upfront pricing
  2. Discount items, sometimes
  3. Consider purchase money financing
  4. Switch from fixed to variable costs
