Navigating Business Impact of US-Canada Tariffs

I’m seeking insights on how businesses are adapting to the current tariff situation between the US and Canada. With the implementation of 25% tariffs on Canadian goods entering the US and similar retaliatory measures from Canada, I’m curious about practical impacts. I’m currently evaluating manufacturing businesses significantly exposed to cross-border trade, making these tariffs directly relevant to my acquisition approach. Specifically, I’d like your insights on: • How are you adjusting valuation models to account for tariff impacts during deal analysis? • What inventory management or supply chain strategies are you deploying to mitigate tariff costs? • For those who’ve recently closed deals, has the tariff situation affected your post-acquisition plans? • Are there specific industries you’ve seen particularly vulnerable or potentially benefiting from the current tariff environment? Recent analysis suggests Canadian SMEs face tough choices between absorbing costs or raising prices. I’d greatly appreciate hearing your real-world experiences beyond theoretical analysis. Looking forward to your valuable insights!
