--explanation--

The phrase be in trouble means to face difficulties or problems. For example:

  • He's in trouble with his clients for missing the deadline. - Facing problems because of a missed deadline.

  • If the funding stops, the project will be in trouble. - The project would face difficulties due to a lack of funding.

In this context, small companies would encounter serious challenges if the hypothetical condition were met.
