A lot can change in 100 days. Especially when the White House does.
From shifting SBA lending landscapes to sudden tariff tweaks and unexpected administrative pivots, the first stretch of the new presidential term has made waves—and not just in Washington. It’s made its way into the world of ETA.
So what does this all mean if you’re mid-search or gearing up for acquisition?
This month, SFC is cutting through the noise with ETA’s First 100 Days – Presidential Edition. No cable news drama—just real-time insights from operators, lenders, and advisors seeing the ripple effects live. We’ll unpack what the SBA rule changes mean for self-funded Searchers, how international exposure plays under new tariffs, what regulatory updates matter (and what’s just noise), and how to adjust your risk, structure, and LOI timing accordingly.
Featuring: ^redacted, ^redacted, ^redacted, and ^redacted - this is your inside look at how policy changes translate into deal terms—and what to do about it.
