Why Businesses Struggle
(Even in Good Economies)
Whether the economy is booming or slowing, countless small businesses are always on the brink of financial stress. The causes are often complex and interconnected:
- Industry-specific downturns
- Internal management issues or leadership turnover
- Difficulty obtaining loans or renewing credit
- Increased regulation or compliance costs
- Political or macroeconomic shifts
- Global supply chain disruptions
- Sudden loss of a major customer or contract
These problems can hit even the strongest companies — and without intervention, they can escalate rapidly.
The Hidden Crisis Among Small Business Owners
Today’s small and medium-sized business owners face a growing number of financial and operational challenges that can quickly choke cash flow.
Left unresolved, these issues can lead to mounting debt, litigation, or even the closure of an otherwise viable business.
At Valcor, we help business owners regain control when pressures become overwhelming and the viability of the business becomes questionable — turning financial chaos into structured recovery.
The Creditor Advantage
When trouble strikes, creditors have teams of attorneys, collection agencies, and banks working for them.
Small business owners, on the other hand, often feel isolated and unprotected — trying to juggle day-to-day operations while fending off relentless financial pressure.
Valcor steps in to work directly with lenders and creditors on your behalf, allowing you to focus on keeping your business running and your team productive.
Creditors not only appreciate working with our professional team to resolve complex situations — many even refer their own clients to us.
The Very Human Side of Business Distress
Running a business is deeply personal. Most of our clients have invested years of hard work, personal capital, and pride into their companies.
When cash stops flowing and creditors start calling, these owners aren’t just fighting for a business — they’re fighting for their livelihood and their employees’ future.
Valcor consultants understand that reality. We bring calm, experienced leadership when it’s needed most, allowing our clients to get back to business.
The State of Small Business
- 33 million small businesses operate in the U.S.*
- 60%–80% of all new jobs** are created by small businesses.*
- Companies with fewer than 100 employees make up 99% of all employers.**
- Small business is the backbone of the U.S. economy — but also the most exposed when financial challenges arise.

“I was drowning in six figures of business credit card and line of credit debt. The Valcor team accomplished a restructuring settlement for 40% of the debt plus minimized my credit report damage in the process.
I was able to keep my business and purchase a $400K home only two years later. Valcor worked within the parameters of what I was able to pay and their professionalism was the best. I highly recommend them to restructure any kind of business debt issues.”
