SCORE Live Webinar: Tariffs & Trade - Navigating the Uncertainty in Business

Global trade policies are shifting fast, and tariffs are cutting into profit margins like never before. Whether you’re a retailer, manufacturer, or supplier, the rising costs and supply chain disruptions demand a smarter strategy to stay competitive. Let's chat about:

• Who really absorbs tariff costs — and how to protect your bottom line.
• How sourcing strategies are changing — and what nearshoring, reshoring, and diversification mean for your business.
• The unpredictable nature of tariffs — and how to “tariff-proof” your business with proactive risk management.

Let's Navigate this uncertain trade landscape together, and the impact of tariffs hitting businesses across industries. Rather than just reacting, let’s get ahead of the disruption with smart strategies to protect profits, stabilize supply chains, and stay competitive.

There will be a panel of experts to take your questions.
