Imagine waking up to find your business accounts frozen, your cash flow stopped, and your ability to operate paralyzed. This nightmare is a reality for many business owners targeted by merchant cash advance (MCA) lenders. These lenders can freeze or seize your funds without warning, leaving you scrambling to keep your business afloat.

Many small businesses turn to merchant cash advance companies for quick funding, only to discover later that the terms are nearly impossible to manage. A vast majority of merchant cash advance contract terms generally require immediate repayment schedules, exorbitant fees, and predatory tactics that can leave borrowers feeling overwhelmed and trapped. At one point, you may even end up facing merchant cash advance litigation in New York in state and federal courts.
