David Greenberg and Peter Gilfillan break down why the first year of a presidential term is often a powerful time to start a business. From economic stimulus and tax changes to increased access to capital and infrastructure investments, this episode dives into how political transition years can create real advantages for small business owners and franchise candidates.
In this episode, Dave and Pete discuss:
- A Surge in Economic Stimulus
New presidents often push early investment into the economy. Dave and Pete explore how this leads to increased confidence, access to capital, and a fertile environment for new business owners.
- Regulatory and Tax Policy Shifts
The first year of a term usually brings regulatory adjustments and favorable tax changes that can reduce overhead, improve cash flow, and support business growth.
- Infrastructure, Tech, and Trade Priorities
From AI and innovation funding to infrastructure investment and renegotiated trade agreements, the hosts explain how these government actions create opportunities for entrepreneurs looking to invest locally.
Key Takeaways:
- The first year of a presidency often aligns with strong economic tailwinds that support business creation.
- Tax incentives, increased government contracts, and capital access can all tip the scale for prospective franchisees.
- If you’re thinking about escaping corporate life, now may be the best time to start building your future.
”There couldn’t be a better time to invest in a business. First-year presidential terms bring stimulus, opportunity, and momentum—if you’re ready to act.” — David Greenberg
