As global trade tensions rise, international tariffs are once again making headlines — and businesses need to stay alert. The United States has recently imposed or proposed new tariffs on key imports from China, especially in sectors like electric vehicles, semiconductors, and critical minerals. Meanwhile, Europe and other trade partners are considering similar moves in response to economic and geopolitical concerns. What This Means for Your Business Higher Costs on Imports If you're sourcing goods from countries facing new tariffs, expect price increases — either directly through duties or indirectly through suppliers adjusting costs. Longer Lead Times Customs delays and documentation requirements may increase, especially for shipments flagged for additional scrutiny under new trade rules. Shifting Sourcing Strategies Many companies are beginning to diversify their supply base, shifting manufacturing or procurement to countries not impacted by tariffs (e.g., Mexico, Vietnam, India). Inventory and Cash Flow Pressure As tariffs inflate landed costs, businesses may need to re-evaluate inventory levels and renegotiate payment terms to preserve cash flow. What You Can Do Audit your current suppliers and tariff exposure. Consider nearshoring or reshoring to reduce risk. Explore duty drawback programs or bonded warehouses for mitigation. Monitor developments closely — tariffs can change quickly. At Crafford Solutions, we help businesses navigate complex supply chain challenges, including compliance and risk mitigation around international trade. Reach out to see how we can support your operations in this shifting landscape.
Starting a business is an exciting journey, but new entrepreneurs often make avoidable mistakes. Here are five unique pitfalls to watch out for: Skipping Market Research Many entrepreneurs get excited about their ideas without confirming if there’s a real market for them. Market research helps you understand customer needs, competition, and market gaps. Without it, you may end up investing in a product or service with limited demand. Underestimating Financial Needs A common mistake is underestimating the capital required to run the business, not just to launch it. This includes operating expenses, marketing costs, and a buffer for unexpected challenges. Insufficient funds can lead to early setbacks, reducing the chance for sustainable growth. Neglecting Legal Foundations Overlooking essential legal steps—like properly structuring the business, registering trademarks, or setting up contracts—can lead to future complications. Many businesses skip consulting legal experts due to cost concerns, but it’s a crucial investment that can protect you from liability and disputes. Wearing Too Many Hats Founders often try to manage all aspects of the business themselves, from sales to accounting. However, spreading yourself too thin can limit growth and lead to burnout. Delegating or outsourcing tasks in areas where you lack expertise allows you to focus on high-value activities that drive the business forward. Failing to Set a Scalable Infrastructure New businesses sometimes invest in systems or processes that don’t support growth, like unscalable accounting software or inefficient customer service solutions. Implementing scalable tools and processes from the start can help avoid operational bottlenecks as the business grows. Addressing these common mistakes early on can set a strong foundation for your business’s long-term success.
