Small businesses fear losing up to $1 billion in revenue if TikTok is banned in the U.S.

Small businesses relying on TikTok for growth and customer outreach may face significant disruption if the US government enforces a ban. TikTok has helped these businesses expand, advertise, and sell products directly. Owners like Desiree Hill fear losing the app’s reach, which could cost businesses up to $1 billion in revenue. If banned, businesses may need to move to platforms like Instagram Reels, Snapchat, or YouTube Shorts, or build direct customer databases, though these alternatives may not match TikTok's effectiveness.
