Understanding Business Debt Settlement

Business debt settlement is a financial strategy allowing businesses to negotiate with creditors to settle outstanding debts for less than the total amount owed. The approach does not eliminate the debt. Still, it can significantly reduce the financial burden, providing much-needed relief for struggling businesses. By reaching an agreement with creditors, companies can pay off a portion of their debt in a lump sum or through a structured payment plan, ultimately leading to a more manageable financial situation.

Businesses may consider debt settlement under several circumstances, including:

  • Prolonged difficulty paying down loans
  • Substantially past due debts
  • Financial hardship
  • Frequent contact from creditors

Debt settlement is a strategic option for businesses looking to regain control of their finances and create a more sustainable path forward. Companies can reduce their debt obligations by negotiating with creditors and focusing on recovery and growth.

Legal Help with Any Business Loan

We negotiate debt settlements for a wide range of business loans. We aim to protect our clients' best interests by seeking strategies to alleviate their financial burdens. 

Below is an overview of some of the business loans we handle.

Term Loans

Term loans provide businesses with an upfront lump sum of cash, which is repaid through fixed monthly payments over a specified period. These loans are commonly used for significant investments, such as purchasing equipment or expanding operations.

Qualifying for term loans can be challenging, as lenders typically require a strong credit history and may ask for collateral to secure the loan. The fixed payment structure can also strain cash flow if the business encounters financial difficulties.

Business Lines of Credit

A business line of credit is a revolving source of funds that allows businesses to access up to a predetermined amount. Interest is only paid on the drawn funds, and the line can be used repeatedly after repayment, offering flexibility in managing cash flow.

Businesses generally need strong revenue and credit to qualify for this type of loan. Additionally, interest rates can be higher compared to other loan types.

Equipment Loans

Equipment loans finance the equipment needed for business operations. The purchased equipment is collateral, with rates and terms dependent on the business's financial health.

These loans may require a down payment, and the equipment might depreciate faster than the loan's term, potentially leading to financial strain if the equipment becomes obsolete.

Invoice Factoring and Financing

Invoice factoring involves selling unpaid customer invoices to a factoring company for immediate cash. The factoring company collects payment directly from the customers. On the other hand, invoice financing uses invoices as collateral without selling them, providing a loan based on their value.

Invoice factoring can be costly and relinquishes control over the invoicing process. Both options can lead to a cycle of dependency on borrowed funds, potentially exacerbating financial issues.

Personal Loans for Business Purposes

Personal loans for business purposes are often used by startups or businesses without an extensive operating history. These loans rely on the owner's rather than the business's credit.

While personal loans can offer favorable rates and terms, they come with high borrowing costs and the risk of damaging personal credit if the business cannot repay the loan.

Business Credit Cards

Business credit cards provide a revolving line of credit, allowing businesses to draw from and repay funds as needed. They require minimum monthly payments and are typically unsecured.

These cards often have high costs, variable interest rates, and additional fees, which can quickly accumulate if not managed carefully.

Microloans

Microloans are small business loans typically offered by alternative lenders rather than banks. They are often used as startup capital for small businesses.

Microloans usually have high interest rates, making them expensive despite their smaller principal amounts.

Client Testimonials

Our Clients Rave About Their Results
  • They were always available quickly, to address my concerns. Having dealt with some law firms before, I really appreciated this.

    “Steven Raiser's law firm handled my case with excellence throughout the process. I had a SBA EIDL loan that got transferred to the Department of Treasury unexpectedly, and had a 30% penalty added to the amount due, and due very quickly, which was very stressful. After talking with Steven Raiser, and working with Harry Gill, who was absolutely brilliant in working with me and preparing the case, they were able to recall the case to the SBA. They were always available quickly, to address my concerns. Having dealt with some law firms before, I really appreciated this.
    Very grateful and appreciative to Steven Raiser and Harry Gill. Great work”
