Small businesses brace themselves for potentially disruptive TikTok ban
Briefly

Desiree Hill, owner of Crown's Corner Mechanic in Conyers, Georgia, shares, "Every day I get at least two to three customers that have seen me on TikTok, watched my videos and wanted to become a customer." This highlights the direct impact TikTok has had on her customer acquisition and business growth.
The article states that according to TikTok's own estimates, small businesses on TikTok would lose more than $1 billion in revenue in a single month if the ban goes into effect, underscoring the potential economic fallout.
Hill worries about the reach of alternative platforms, saying, "I have a presence on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook, but it's not the same," illustrating the unique appeal TikTok has for connecting with potential customers.
The Justice Department's order for TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, to sell or face a ban due to security concerns shows the regulatory pressures that could drastically change the business landscape for small enterprises.
