As small business owners, we are proud to drive innovation, create jobs, and strengthen our local economies. However, rising tariffs have placed an outsized burden on small firms like ours—raising costs, disrupting supply chains, and threatening our ability to compete.
Unlike large corporations, small businesses cannot absorb these costs without serious consequences. That’s why we support the passage of the Small Business Liberation Act which would create a tariff exemption for small businesses. This commonsense exemption would recognize the limited negotiating power and tighter margins of small firms, while helping us continue to grow, hire, and serve our communities.
We urge policymakers to create a targeted exemption from tariffs for small businesses.
If you are a small business owner and agree, add your name in support.
