How SBA Loan Debt Lawyers Can Help You Save Your Business
What if you could negotiate your SBA debt down to a manageable amount? At McFarlin LLP, our SBA loan debt lawyers are experienced in helping small business owner just like you do exactly that. We may be able to negotiate a reduction in interest rate, a forbearance period to get back on track and in some circumstances even a reduction in principal. Although we can never predict a specific result or make guarantees, there are many more options out there for small business owners than they might realize.
How do we do it? We leverage years of experience and knowledge of the law and applicable regulations. We offer a sound alternative to those fly-by-night debt relief agencies that are high on promises but low on delivering on those promises. We offer a professional and respected approach because we are seasoned attorneys who negotiate deals continuously with all types of lenders. It is often easy for a lender such as the SBA to “blow off” a borrower calling to ask for debt relief, but when a veteran attorney is in contact regarding specific hardship programs and SBA regulations, it is much harder to ignore.
The Attorney Negotiated SBA Debt Settlement Process
We know how to work with your creditors to lower your debt balance. When you have an experienced McFarlin LLP SBA loan debt lawyer advocating for you, creditors know that they have to stick to the rules and treat you fairly. Once we represent you, your creditors will immediately stop contacting you and, instead, will direct all contact and correspondence to us, saving you the hassle and business disruption of creditors. Once they understand that you are under our care, they may be much more likely to accept terms that are favorable to you.
One program you are likely not even aware of is the SBA’s offer in compromise regulations and opportunities. This option is not for everyone, however many businesses do qualify to take advantage of the program but the opportunity is limited and must be arranged carefully. An offer in compromise can be a great way to reduce your principal and your payments.
We will work with you to put together a financial statement, gather all the financial records required under the offer-in-compromise rules, and then present them to both the SBA and the lender. There will almost certainly be some back-and-forth with counter offers until an agreement is reached. No matter how long or prolonged the process, we will stick by your side until we find you a solution.
