It’s Presidents’ Day Week! With executive orders flowing at a record pace, the new administration’s focus on trade, immigration, and deregulation will have a material impact on funding requirements for businesses large and small. Intrepid’s Capital Advisory team is here to help companies access capital in a complex geopolitical environment:

  • Trade Policy – This administration’s broad-based tariff agenda is larger in scope, faster, and potentially longer in duration than previous trade wars. The “great reallocation” in global supply chains may involve a capital-intensive reaction to rising import costs and related on-shoring investments.
  • Immigration Policy – Stricter immigration policies could limit access to workers at all skill levels, increasing labor costs, exacerbating workforce shortages and putting pressure on working capital.
  • M&A – The new administration has signaled a commitment to easing regulatory constraints around M&A activity, thus creating a window of opportunity for strategic acquisitions and increased need for related financing.
