William & Wall Releases Policy Impact Report
William & Wall, a leading private equity M&A advisory firm based in Scottsdale, Arizona, has published its July 2025 Policy Impact Report, Tariffs or Triumphs: Navigating the Future for Businesses Amid the BBB and Current Fiscal Policy. This in-depth report provides strategic insight for middle market business owners, entrepreneurs, and investors navigating the economic uncertainty created by tariffs, tax reform, and rising interest rates.
With U.S. tariffs on critical imports such as steel and aluminum now at 50%, companies across Phoenix, Scottsdale, and the broader Southwest are experiencing cost pressures and supply chain disruptions. At the same time, the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBBA)—signed into law on July 4—introduces key business-friendly reforms, including a $40,000 SALT deduction cap, 23% QBI deduction, and immediate expensing for domestic R&D through 2029. These provisions offer significant tax relief and reinvestment potential for closely held and founder-led firms.
The report outlines how businesses can leverage these changes to enhance exit planning, valuation strategies, and long-term positioning. While short-term inflation may remain muted, the report also explores how the bill’s $2.6 trillion deficit impact could drive long-term borrowing costs higher, a critical factor for companies considering recapitalization or strategic M&A activity.
Whether you're preparing for a business sale, evaluating deal timing, or repositioning your business in light of federal policy shifts, Tariffs or Triumphs delivers the clarity needed to make informed, high-stakes decisions. William & Wall continues to serve business owners across Scottsdale, Phoenix, and nationwide, offering trusted valuation services, customized M&A advisory, and strategic guidance for navigating complex capital events.
