Business Debt Settlement
When the math doesn't work — payments are higher than revenue can support — settlement may be a path forward. Specialists negotiate with your creditors to resolve balances for less than the full amount owed, on terms you can actually meet.

Specialist review
A settlement specialist reviews what creditors typically accept in cases like yours.

Pay the agreed-upon settlement and close out the debt.
Is this right for you?
- You're behind on payments or close to it
- Your debts exceed what your business can realistically pay back in full
- You'd accept some credit impact to resolve the debt for good
- You want a specialist negotiating instead of doing it alone
What to know
- Settlement can negatively affect your business and personal credit
- Interest, fees, and collection activity often continue while you negotiate
- Forgiven debt may be taxable — talk to your accountant
- Some creditors sue rather than settle; specialists plan for this
- Settlement is not right for every business — that's what the free review is for
Common questions
How much can I settle a business debt for?
+
It varies widely by creditor, debt type, and your situation. Some balances settle for 40–60 cents on the dollar; others much higher or lower. No one can guarantee an amount up front.
How long does settlement take?
+
Most programs run 12–36 months depending on debt size, creditor mix, and your ability to fund the settlements. A specialist will give you a realistic timeline.
Will I get sued during settlement?
+
It's possible. Creditors have the right to pursue collection. Specialists know which creditors are more likely to litigate and build the plan accordingly.
