> Most businesses operate close to break-even (in efficient markets), and many will immediately go under.

Then they are not managing risk properly and actually need to go under.

I'm not even sure that its true to a meaningful degree - at least in the US, large businesses dominate economically and are quite profitable (much better than "break even"). Microsoft, Berkshire Hathaway, JP Morgan - they are not going to "go under" if interest rates go up 0.25%, even though they all use corporate debt.
