Welcome to Delancey Street, where we understand that facing legal challenges can be daunting, overwhelming, and downright scary. But, take a deep breath. You’re not alone. We’re here to guide you through every step of the process, ensuring you’re well-informed and well-represented.
Understanding Merchant Cash Advances (MCA)
First things first, let’s talk about what a Merchant Cash Advance actually is. It’s not your typical loan; it’s an advance based on your business’s future sales. This sounds great in theory, right? However, the reality can be much less appealing due to high interest rates and aggressive repayment terms that can quickly become overwhelming.
The Legal Landscape of MCAs in Arkansas
In Arkansas, the regulation around MCAs is a bit of a wild west. There are no specific licensing requirements for MCA funders, which means practically anyone can offer you an advance. This lack of regulation opens the door for less scrupulous providers to take advantage of desperate business owners.
When Things Go Wrong
So, what happens if you find yourself unable to meet the steep demands of an MCA? This is where things can get tricky, and where Delancey Street steps in. Our firm specializes in defending businesses like yours. We understand the nuances of MCA agreements and can help you navigate the choppy waters of this complex area.
Strategic Defense Against MCA Lawsuits
If you’re facing a lawsuit over an MCA, you might feel like the walls are closing in. But, remember, you have options. At Delancey Street, we employ a variety of strategies to defend our clients:
- Arguing the legality of the MCA: Sometimes, these advances are structured in ways that violate lending laws. If we can prove this, the agreement might be void.
- Challenging the terms of the agreement: Many MCAs come with terms that are anything but fair. Unconscionability is a defense that looks at whether the terms are so unfair that they shock the conscience.
- Negotiating a settlement: Often, the best outcome is one that avoids prolonged litigation. We’re skilled negotiators who can often find a resolution that minimizes your financial pain.
Preventative Measures
The best defense is a good offense. If you’re considering an MCA, talk to us first. We can review the terms and advise you on potential pitfalls. Sometimes the best decision is walking away before signing.
