How It Works

How MCA Resolution Works

How MCA Resolution Works is simple: start with a free business debt assessment, share your current merchant cash advance (MCA) payments and financial concerns, and let our team review your inquiry. Where appropriate, we may connect you with an independent debt resolution team to discuss potential options. You remain in control of the decision, with no obligation to enroll.

How MCA Resolution Works: Our 4-Step Process

The process starts with understanding your situation—not asking you to make a decision before you have the relevant information.

  1. 1

    Share Your Situation

    Tell us about your business, current payment concerns and the debt-related issue creating pressure.

  2. 2

    Our Team Reviews the Inquiry

    Your answers give our team context about the situation and which questions may need clarification.

  3. 3

    Discuss Potential Next Steps

    Where appropriate, you may have a follow-up conversation about the circumstances, potential options and additional information that may be needed.

  4. 4

    Decide How to Proceed

    If a resolution service is proposed, review its services, terms, fees and other relevant information before deciding whether to move forward.

An assessment does not create an obligation to enroll.

02

Tell Us About Your Situation

The first step is a short assessment about your business and current financial pressure.

Depending on your situation, useful information may include:

  • Number of active MCAs
  • Approximate payment amounts
  • Daily or weekly payment frequency
  • Other major business debts
  • Current cash-flow pressure
  • Whether payments have recently become difficult
  • Whether you are dealing with multiple advances
  • The main concern you want reviewed

You do not need to know every exact number before starting. If you are unsure about a balance or payment amount, an estimate can be provided and clarified later if necessary. The purpose of the first assessment is to create a clearer starting picture.

03

Our Team Reviews Your Inquiry

After you submit the assessment, the information is reviewed by the MCA Resolution team. The goal is to understand:

  • What type of debt is involved?
  • What is creating the current pressure?
  • Are multiple obligations involved?
  • What additional information may be useful?

The review helps us match your case with the right team for the next conversation. It is not a guarantee that you qualify for a particular debt-relief service.

04

Discuss Potential Next Steps

If your situation appears appropriate for further review, the next step may involve a conversation about the circumstances and potential options. Depending on the situation, topics could include:

  • Current payment pressure
  • Multiple MCA obligations
  • Business debt
  • Cash-flow concerns
  • Potential payment-related options
  • Debt resolution approaches
  • Information needed for a more detailed review

The purpose is to understand the situation before you decide whether to proceed. No particular outcome is promised.

05

Decide How to Proceed

If you are connected with a resolution team, you should have the opportunity to understand what that firm offers before enrolling. Review:

  • Services provided
  • Program terms
  • Fees or compensation
  • Expected process
  • Potential risks
  • What obligations may be included
  • What is not included
  • Any agreement you would be asked to sign

You remain responsible for deciding whether a proposed service is appropriate for your business. An initial assessment does not require you to enroll. Submitting an assessment creates no obligation to enroll.

06

What Information Do You Need to Provide?

You can start with a general picture of your business debt situation. Helpful information includes:

  • Business details: basic information about the business and its current situation.
  • MCA information: approximate number of advances, payment amounts and payment frequency.
  • Other business debt: major loans, credit cards, equipment financing or other obligations.
  • Cash-flow pressure: the expense or payment creating the most immediate concern.
  • Recent changes: new financing, missed payments, changes in revenue or other developments.

You don’t need to have a perfect spreadsheet before submitting the assessment.

07

What the First Assessment Does Not Require

The initial assessment is designed to start the conversation without requesting highly sensitive financial credentials. You will not be asked to provide:

  • Social Security number
  • Bank login credentials
  • Bank account number
  • Document uploads
08

What Happens If Your Situation May Be a Fit?

If the information provided suggests that further debt-resolution review may be appropriate, MCA Resolution Advisory may connect you with a debt resolution team. The process can then move from the initial assessment, to a business debt review, the right resolution team taking on your case, a detailed discussion with that team, and finally your own decision.

Having your case assessed does not guarantee that a resolution team will accept the business or that a particular debt-relief outcome will be available. Eligibility and available services depend on the individual circumstances.

09

Who Provides Debt Resolution Services?

01

MCA Resolution 

MCA Resolution Advisory assesses each case independently.

Its role is to:

  • Receive the initial inquiry
  • Review the information provided
  • Understand the business owner’s situation
  • Identify the right resolution team for your case
  • Connect the business owner with a resolution team where appropriate

MCA Resolution does not directly negotiate or settle business debt. It is not a law firm or a debt settlement company.

02

Resolution Teams

Where appropriate, a resolution team may provide the actual debt-resolution services. That firm should explain its:

  • Services
  • Fees
  • Terms
  • Process
  • Potential risks
  • Eligibility requirements

before you decide whether to proceed.

10

What Does the Assessment Cost?

The initial assessment is free. Your case assessment is free. MCA Resolution Advisory never charges business owners a fee. The resolution team handling your case may have its own fees or program terms, which it explains before you decide.

Those terms should be explained before enrollment. Free assessment does not mean every subsequent service is free. Ask any resolution team to explain its fees in writing before you agree to anything.

11

What the Process Does Not Guarantee

Submitting an assessment does not guarantee:

  • MCA payment reduction
  • Debt settlement
  • Debt forgiveness
  • Debt restructuring
  • A specific savings amount
  • Acceptance by a resolution team
  • Agreement from an MCA funder
  • A specific repayment arrangement
  • Protection from collection activity
  • Protection from legal action

Every business has different agreements, payment histories, financial circumstances and counterparties.  The purpose of the initial process is to determine what information and potential next steps may be relevant, not to promise a particular result.
