In this episode, Heather and Bill break down a $10M revenue Amazon FBA business selling vitamin-infused, multi-stage shower filters with a strong 40–50% recurring revenue from cartridge replacements. But there's a catch—its supply chain is deeply tied to China, and new tariff policies may render the business nearly untransactable. The hosts explore what makes the brand compelling, how SBA financing applies (even with a potential carve-out), and the real-world impact of uncertain global trade conditions on e-commerce sellers today. They also dive into new SBA SOP updates and creative (and sometimes sketchy) ways sellers are dodging tariffs.
