You're Working Just to Pay Lenders
Those "easy money" loans are now your biggest problem. Your revenue looks great. Your bank account doesn't.
Every morning starts with watching my money vanish
Merchant cash advance taking $800 daily. Another MCA for $500. Equipment loan due weekly. You’re paying $2,000+ per day just to lenders. No cash left to run your business.
The 'easy money' that's costing me everything
Took $100K, paying back $140K. Daily ACH payments rain or shine. Miss one payment, they freeze your accounts. Effective rate over 50% annually. Legal loan sharking.
I run a business but work as a debt juggler
5 different lenders. 5 different payments. Different schedules, terms, contacts. Spending hours managing debt instead of growing business. One mistake triggers defaults.
My best sales month left me with my worst bank balance
Gross margins look good. Net profit gone. Every dollar earned goes to debt service. Working harder than ever for nothing. Business owns you.
Each solution became a bigger problem
Took second MCA to pay first. Then third to pay second. Now buried under multiple advances. Each new debt made things worse. Spiral getting tighter.
You're not alone. Thousands of businesses fell into the easy money trap. But staying trapped is a choice. Refinancing can cut your payments in half.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about business refinancing in Michigan
Can you really refinance merchant cash advances?
Yes. While MCAs aren’t technically loans, we work with lenders who pay them off and provide real term loans instead. It’s debt replacement, and it works.
How much will refinancing reduce my payments?
Most businesses see 20-60% payment reduction. Depends on current debt terms and business strength. We calculate exact savings before you commit.
How quickly can I get relief from daily payments?
Typically 7-14 days from application to funding. Some lenders can stop daily payments sooner while processing. Relief comes fast when you need it.
What if I have multiple MCAs stacked?
Perfect for refinancing. We consolidate 2, 3, even 5+ advances into one loan. The more predatory debt you have, the more you save through refinancing.
Will refinancing hurt my credit?
Usually improves it. Paying off multiple debts and having one manageable payment helps credit. Much better than defaulting on impossible daily payments.
Do I need good credit to refinance?
Business performance matters more than credit score. If you’ve been making MCA payments, you qualify. We’ve helped owners with scores under 600.
What are typical refinancing terms?
2-5 year terms at 8-18% APR depending on situation. Monthly payments, not daily. Real interest, not factor rates. Honest, sustainable lending.
Can I refinance if I'm behind on payments?
Sometimes. Better to refinance before default, but we have options for troubled situations. Each case is unique. Let’s discuss your specific situation.
What happens to my personal guarantees when refinancing?
Personal guarantees on MCAs typically transfer to the new loan, but at better terms. We work to minimize personal exposure during refinancing whenever possible.
Are confession of judgment clauses enforceable in Michigan?
Michigan law requires specific labeling for confession of judgment clauses. Without proper labeling, they may not be enforceable. We help navigate these legal complexities.
How does refinancing work with Michigan's 25% usury cap?
MCAs often structure as purchase agreements to avoid usury laws. When refinancing to traditional loans, we ensure compliance with Michigan’s lending regulations.
Can I use SBA loans to refinance merchant cash advances?
As of 2024, SBA changed rules limiting MCA refinancing. However, we have many non-SBA options that work just as well for Michigan businesses.
What's the difference between refinancing and debt consolidation?
Refinancing replaces your current debt with better terms. Consolidation combines multiple debts into one. We often do both – consolidate multiple MCAs and refinance into one manageable loan.
How long before I can get additional financing after refinancing?
Most lenders want to see 6-12 months of on-time payments before additional financing. Some working capital options available sooner. We help plan your future capital needs.
Do you work with seasonal Michigan businesses?
Yes. We understand Michigan’s tourism and seasonal business cycles. Our refinancing solutions account for variable revenue patterns throughout the year.
Why choose Michigan Business Advocates for refinancing?
We know Michigan businesses and lenders. With 30+ years experience and $5M+ in debt restructured, we get results where others can’t. No upfront fees – we only succeed when you do.
