It's impossible to give you any useful advice without knowing more about your situation. What type of business do you have? Does the "impact" of the economy on your business mean a 5% hit to profit or a 50% hit? How much of a hit could your annual profit take and for how many years before you wouldn't be able to keep paying for your lifestyle? What are your skills / what kind of job role would you potentially qualify for? The answer to each of those questions will have a significant impact on what your best course of future action is.
