Trump’s New Tariffs Just Hit—Here’s EXACTLY How Small Businesses Can Survive (Before Prices Skyrocket)

April 2, 2025: President Trump slaps a 10% tax on ALL imports—and up to 34% on China/EU goods. Overnight, everything from raw materials to retail inventory just got more expensive.
If your business relies on imports, your costs are about to explode.
Even if you’re service-based, brace yourself: Your suppliers will raise prices. Your customers will spend less. This isn’t politics—it’s profit-killing math.
⚠️ The Domino Effect You Can’t Ignore:
- Importing goods? Your product costs just jumped 10-34% overnight.
- Buying from US suppliers? They’ll pass their tariff costs onto YOU.
- Selling to consumers? Their wallets just tightened—sales will drop.
This isn’t fear-mongering. It’s financial reality.
