Mainstreet businesses and tariffs
I’m Jason Garcia from Holdings, a financial platform helping small businesses, nonprofits, and self-employed professionals keep more of what they earn.
With tariffs on imports soaring and inflation at record levels, nearly 60% of SMBs now cite inflation as their top concern, and over 62% expect tariffs to push costs even higher this year. The U.S. baking industry alone is projected to pay an extra $454 million in 2025 due to tariffs, and similar pressures are hitting retailers, manufacturers, and construction firms nationwide.
Small businesses are responding by cutting costs, raising prices carefully, and seeking out fee-free financial tools—but the squeeze is real, and many owners are worried about survival. I can offer expert analysis, real-world examples, and actionable insights on how SMBs are adapting, plus the latest data on what’s working (and what’s not).
If you’re interested in a story on how Main Street is navigating this tough year, I’d love to share more—including exclusive data and commentary from business owners on the front lines.
