# The survival kit for "Small and Medium Multinationals"
Tariffs, volatility, constant disruptions: six levers to help internationally exposed SMEs stay in control.
[Download](https://info.ibanfirst.com/hubfs/ENG%20Global/Survival_Kit_smm_2025.pdf)
### **SMEs: Make the right choices before it’s too late…**
For Small and Medium Multinationals—internationally exposed SMEs and mid-sized companies—the shockwaves from U.S. tariffs and their ongoing fluctuations are far from a passing phase.
The status quo is no longer sustainable. Companies doing business across borders must urgently rethink their models, secure their supply chains, and reassess their exposure to geopolitical risk. Ultimately, it’s their overall profitability that’s at stake.
This “survival kit” was designed with one goal in mind: to help leaders of Small & Medium Multinationals (SMMs) make the right decisions. As a new standard in international payments, iBanFirst understands the real-world challenges these businesses face.
Small & Medium Multinationals are agile by nature. Every day, they deal with complex banking, administrative, and financial challenges. Because of their size, unique business models, and international exposure, basic tools simply aren’t enough. At the same time, they are not suited to the solutions designed for large multinational corporations.
#### With this concise, practical survival kit, iBanFirst outlines six actionable steps to help businesses rethink their international strategy and regain control in an increasingly volatile global landscape.
#### What's inside the kit:
In 6 key steps, this kit will help you:
- Assess the strength of your international partners and adapt your sourcing strategies
- Seize new opportunities in the European market
- Navigate around U.S. trade barriers
- Lock in your exposure to currency risk
