In a political climate marked by uncertainty, the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration raise very real concerns for Canadian businesses, especially those based in Quebec. These tariffs, targeting key sectors such as aluminum, steel, and manufacturing, are driving up import costs and putting increased pressure on SME margins. But we’re not just highlighting the problems—we’re providing tangible solutions, thanks in part to our collaboration with BDC. The Bank has launched a $500 million program to support SMEs affected by rising tariffs. Our goal is to help you turn this turbulence into a strategic opportunity.
Tangible Impacts on Your Operations... and Your Spaces
Beyond the financial challenges, these measures can have a direct impact on business strategies, particularly when it comes to real estate needs. Increased operating costs, logistical repositioning, and reduced investment capacity are pushing many entrepreneurs to reassess their priorities or rethink their business models. For some, this may mean relocating to a more optimized industrial space. For others, renegotiating a lease becomes urgent to maintain profitability. In all cases, one thing is clear: today’s economic uncertainty calls for agility and a long-term strategic vision.
