--explanation--

The sentence uses a First Conditional structure:

  • If that money goes away (condition).

  • Those companies might not survive (result).

This indicates that the companies' survival is uncertain and depends on whether the money is available. The word might adds a sense of possibility, meaning the outcome is not guaranteed.
