Trade tariffs might seem like a wet blanket, but they can actually boost small business values in intriguing ways. The discussion dives into how tariffs affect inventory and profitability, with strategies for navigating these challenges. Real-world examples, like a thriving American steel mill, showcase how tariffs can decrease competition and elevate demand for local products. Plus, there’s insight into making wise business purchases during economic downturns and the role of government relief programs in shaping profitability.

Selling a business can be an emotional rollercoaster. Misconceptions about loss can cloud judgment, as selling below market value isn't always a loss.
