If you are a business owner staring at your bank account every morning, dreading the daily withdrawals from a Merchant Cash Advance (MCA), you are likely looking for a way out that doesn't involve closing your doors.
You may have heard the term "debt restructuring" thrown around. But in the context of high-cost, daily-debit financing, the solution you are actually looking for is more specific: MCA Debt Payment Restructuring.
This article explains exactly what MCA debt restructuring is, how it differs from general business debt relief, and how our specific process transforms unsustainable daily drains into a manageable, sustainable payment plan.
What Is MCA Debt Restructuring?
At its core, MCA debt restructuring is a targeted financial strategy designed to modify the terms of your existing Merchant Cash Advance agreements. Unlike MCA settlement (which intends to reduce the overall debt) or bankruptcy (which involves the courts), restructuring is a negotiation process.
While the industry often calls it "debt restructuring," we at Coastal Debt Resolve believe it is more accurate to call it MCA Debt Payment Restructuring.
Why the distinction? Because for most business owners, the total debt amount isn't the primary challenge. It’s the speed of repayment that tends to be the biggest problem.
The goal of MCA payment restructuring is to take aggressive, daily payments that are choking your cash flow and convert them into a new, sustainable weekly payment plan. This allows you to retain enough capital to cover payroll, inventory, and critical operations while still satisfying your obligations to creditors.
MCA Restructuring vs. General Business Debt Restructuring
It is important not to confuse MCA-specific restructuring with general business debt restructuring.
General business debt restructuring is a broad term that often encompasses renegotiating all of a company’s liabilities, including vendor contracts, building leases, and traditional bank loans. It is a complex, holistic process often reserved for larger corporations or those considering formal reorganization.
The Coastal Debt Resolve Approach: A 3-Step Process
Your MCA providers want a solution that is realistic and reliable. They do not want you to default, but they also need assurance that you can pay. In many cases, a structured payment plan is a better outcome for them than the uncertainty of a business failure.
Our goal is to improve your cash-flow stability by reducing up-front strain. To do this, we utilize a proven 3-step process led by professional negotiators and a network of independent attorneys.
Step 1: We Analyze Your Position
Restructuring works best when it is based on hard data, not guesswork. First, our team conducts a full review of your current MCA positions, business cash flow, and finances.
- We look at your revenue versus your daily withdrawals.
- We identify the gap between what you are currently paying and what you can actually survive paying.
- This helps us build a clear, evidence-based case for what you can sustainably afford.
Step 2: We Coordinate Creditor Communication Support
The silence between a struggling business owner and their creditor can be dangerous. We help coordinate the flow of information with your MCA providers by:
- Reviewing documentation to ensure accuracy.
- Providing guidance on how to handle creditor inquiries.
- Communicating directly with providers when appropriate and permitted.
- The Result: We keep the process organized, professional, and focused on reaching a workable path forward, rather than letting it descend into aggressive collection calls.
Step 3: We Negotiate an Affordable Plan
This is our focus and our strength. We aim to restructure or reduce daily payments and negotiate a new, fixed payment plan—typically weekly—with terms intended to support healthier cash flow for your business.
- From Daily to Weekly: Moving from daily debits to a fixed weekly schedule allows you to plan your cash flow effectively.
- Sustainability: We only propose terms that are designed to be workable for your providers and sustainable for your business.
