Key questions business owners should ask any MCA or business debt relief company about fees, process, timelines, and what happens if things don't go as planned.
Choosing a business debt relief provider is a significant decision. Before signing anything, ask direct questions and get the answers in writing.
About fees
- How exactly are your fees calculated, and when are they charged?
- Are any fees due before a settlement or modification is reached?
- What is the total I could pay, including fees, under a realistic scenario?
About the process
- What will you actually do on my behalf, and what will I be responsible for?
- Will you advise me to stop paying any funder? If so, what are the consequences under my agreements?
- How will you communicate progress, and how often?
About outcomes
- Do you promise any specific savings or results? (Be cautious of anyone who does.)
- What happens if a funder refuses or files a lawsuit?
- Can I cancel, and what does cancellation cost?
About legal issues
A debt relief company is not a law firm unless it says so. If you face a lawsuit, judgment, or frozen account, ask whether an attorney is involved — and consider consulting one independently.
