I wonder if the word 'last' would be used more commonly here. 'Survive' isn't wrong... it just sounds a little strange to my ear.

Is this an overly literal translation, do you think?

@understoad: I think the sentence if fine. I get 20 thousand hits for "businesses survive"

You're right. It may even be more common to say survive here.

It must just be a funny personal preference of mine.
