Why MCA Loans Can Be Problematic
Merchant cash advances seem enticing because they provide quick access to capital without requiring strong credit or collateral. However, they often involve predatory terms that trap small businesses in expensive debt cycles.Some common issues with MCA loans include:
- Exorbitant interest rates and fees
- Rates over 50% are typical
- Overreliance on bank account withdrawals
- Lenders can drain accounts, jeopardizing other obligations
- Limited underwriting
- Approvals based on bank statements alone ignore total debt burdens
- Quick approvals incentivizing maximizing volume over loan quality
These characteristics make MCA loans risky for lenders and small businesses alike. Unfortunately, many companies realize too late that the loans create cash flow problems rather than solve them.
Legal Defenses Against MCA Lenders
If you have unmanageable MCA debt, consulting a lawyer experienced with these instruments can be invaluable. Depending on your situation, viable legal defenses may include:

Challenging Unconscionable Loan Terms
Courts have ruled some MCA provisions unconscionable. For example, agreements allowing lenders to help themselves to all revenue in a business account have faced scrutiny. An attorney can review your contracts to identify potentially unenforceable clauses.
Disputing Breaches of Covenant of Good Faith
Lenders have a legal duty to act in good faith with borrowers. However, some MCA companies use aggressive collection tactics violating this covenant. If account sweeps or harassment from your lender threaten business operations, legal action may be possible.
Challenging Confessions of Judgement
Many MCA contracts contain confessions of judgement allowing lenders to obtain awards without proof of default. But these provisions do not guarantee enforceability. If used improperly, they may be vulnerable to being vacated.Note: The defenses above require experienced legal counsel to pursue and will vary case-by-case.While not every business will have grounds for a lawsuit, understanding where MCA contracts potentially overreach matters. Even simply demonstrating willingness to dispute egregious terms can motivate settlements on more reasonable grounds.
