Escalating tariffs are putting pressure on already-thin margins — and SMEs sticking to traditional models are feeling the squeeze.

In this On the Ground episode, we sit down with business community founder & brand strategist Vernon to talk about what separates the businesses that adapt… from the ones that get left behind.

💬 Here’s what we explore:

• Why cost-cutting alone won’t save your business

• The strategies agile SMEs are using to pivot and thrive

• How Singapore’s unique position in the region can be a strength

• What mindset shifts leaders must make to stay competitive

• Practical frameworks to turn pressure into progress

  
  

If you're leading an SME in Singapore, this episode isn’t just insight — it’s a strategic gut-check.

Because resilience now isn’t optional. It’s survival.
