MCA Relief • Hardship Packets • Attorney-Ready Files

Helping small business owners get back on track from MCA debt.

Back on Track Today is a nonprofit technology platform concept designed to help business owners organize Merchant Cash Advance documents, explain financial hardship, prepare professional response packets, and access support before collections, liens, lawsuits, or business closure become overwhelming.

Mission

A guided platform for business owners trapped by predatory MCA debt.

Back on Track Today helps small business owners, family-owned companies, independent contractors, and middle-class entrepreneurs organize their financial hardship and prepare professional documentation when Merchant Cash Advance payments threaten payroll, rent, taxes, vendors, and business survival.

What Back on Track Today is designed to provide

  • Plain-English MCA education and self-help resources.
  • Document intake and secure file organization.
  • Hardship packet and creditor matrix preparation.
  • Attorney-ready case summaries and exhibit indexes.
  • Relief-fund review for qualifying business hardship cases.
The goal is not to replace licensed attorneys. The goal is to help business owners gather documents, organize facts, explain hardship clearly, and prepare files that can be reviewed by an attorney, nonprofit advocate, funder, lender, court, or relief program.
The Problem

When revenue drops, daily MCA withdrawals can create a financial spiral.

Many owners take MCA funding under pressure and later discover that daily or weekly payment structures, fees, stacked advances, personal guarantees, UCC filings, and aggressive collections can threaten the entire business.

High-frequency withdrawals

Daily or weekly debits may continue even after sales decline, forcing the owner to choose between MCA payments, payroll, rent, taxes, and vendors.

Disorganized crisis response

Business owners often seek help only after default notices, stacked MCA agreements, lawsuits, liens, frozen accounts, or collection pressure begin.

Limited access to legal support

Many owners cannot afford immediate legal representation, and generic debt help may not address MCA-specific contract terms, deadlines, or enforcement risks.

The Solution

Back on Track Today turns scattered documents into organized hardship and response packets.

The platform would guide users through business intake, MCA debt intake, document upload, automated packet generation, attorney-ready review, and relief-fund screening.

A

Hardship documentation

Generate business hardship summaries, financial decline narratives, payment pause requests, reduction requests, and settlement proposal drafts.

B

Financial organization

Create creditor matrices, MCA company summaries, ACH payment timelines, document indexes, and attorney-ready review packets.

C

Escalation readiness

Flag UCC liens, lawsuits, judgments, bank restraints, processor holds, third-party contact, and other issues that may require urgent review.

Platform Workflow

A simple step-by-step path from intake to review packet.

The self-service website should guide business owners through the same intake sequence every time, so each case file is complete and easy to review.

1

Business Intake

Collect business name, owner name, industry, location, years in business, revenue history, current revenue, employees, rent, payroll, tax obligations, vendor balances, and hardship facts.

2

MCA Debt Intake

Capture each MCA company, original advance, purchase amount, payment frequency, estimated balance, payment history, default status, UCC status, lawsuit status, personal guarantee, and confession-of-judgment information.

3

Document Upload

Request contracts, bank statements, merchant processing statements, payment histories, demand letters, lawsuit papers, UCC filings, tax returns, P&L statements, AP aging reports, lease statements, payroll records, and hardship proof.

4

Automated Packet Generation

Generate a professional cover letter, executive summary, financial hardship explanation, MCA company matrix, requested relief section, and supporting-document index.

5

Attorney-Ready Review

For litigation or urgent deadline cases, organize the file for licensed attorney review and potential referral to legal clinics, pro bono programs, or vetted attorneys.

6

Relief Fund Review

Qualified users may apply for limited hardship support for approved needs such as legal review, filing fees, accounting support, document preparation, business stabilization, rent support, payroll support, or other hardship-related costs.
