When the coronavirus support arrived, many entrepreneurs felt it was a temporary solution for a temporary crisis. Taxes could be paid later. There was breathing room. Time to recover. And that recovery would follow naturally—that was the idea.
But years have passed since then. And for many entrepreneurs, that COVID-19 debt still feels like a constant burden. Money goes out every month. Every month you try to keep up. And yet, you feel like you are barely getting any closer to a solution.
Repaying without making progress
Many entrepreneurs have seriously started their payment arrangement. They wanted to take responsibility. No hassle. Just pay off and move on.
But in practice, that proves difficult. Costs have risen. Margins have shrunk. And meanwhile, fixed expenses continue as usual. What once seemed like a feasible arrangement now feels like a constant financial burden to some.
You pay. But you build nothing. No buffer. No peace of mind. No room to invest or look ahead.
The mental impact of years of paying off
What is often underestimated is what long-term debt does to you. Not only financially, but also mentally. The feeling of constantly “falling behind”. The tension with every payment. The idea that you can never truly start over as long as that old debt hangs over your head.
Many entrepreneurs become fatigued as a result. Not because they don't want to work, but because the sense of progress is lacking. You keep going, but experience no true rest.
You don't have to keep walking around with this alone.
Particularly with long-term COVID-related debts, we see that entrepreneurs continue for a long time without seeking help. Because they think this is simply the consequence. Or because they feel they have to solve it themselves.
But sometimes it is wise to take another look at your situation. What is still feasible? What pressure are you really experiencing? And what possibilities are there to create clarity and space again?
