Debt Consolidation and Businesses
Businesses are usually no different than consumers when it comes to debt. Many times
businesses are overextended on their debt as well, and do not know where to turn.
That is why a debt relief company such as Nationwide Debt Reduction can help with
their debt relief as well.
Business can incur too much debt for a variety of reasons such as:
- Unexpected large expenses,
- Poor Management,
- The death of a business partner(s).
Regardless of the circumstances a debt reduction can help a business as the same
way it can with a consumer�.through negotiations.
Also too, like consumers, business managers often hold off until the last minute
when seeking debt help. Their reasoning may be completely different from that of
a consumer, such as the fear of loosing control of their finances or appearing week
to the competition, however, in the end, the results are the same. The sooner a
business acts, the quicker it can be back on the road to recovery.
Businesses typically have four options to use to help them get out of debt. Those
options are working with a debt settlement company, a debt consolidation company,
securing a debt consolidation loan or filing for bankruptcy. Filing for bankruptcy,
always a last resort is very different for businesses than that of the consumers,
which we will discuss in more detail.
Debt Settlement Company
The option we believe most companies should consider when the find themselves in
debt trouble is to contact a debt relief company, such as Nationwide Debt Reduction.
Like consumers, a debt settlement company can act as a liaison, via a Limited Power-of-Attorney,
to negotiate and settle debt for a fraction of what the business owes. This allows
the business to free up working capital, while at the same time, put a plan into
place the will help them pay off their debt in four years or less. For more information

Debt Counseling
Commercial debt counseling does the same thing for businesses as it does for consumer
credit counseling. We understand that company finances can be varied and complex
and that it may take extra time to sort through �the rubble.� This is precisely
what a commercial debt counselor does.
Commercial debt counseling combines business debt help with debt settlement. The
debt counselor helps both discern problems and offer suggestions to resolve those
problems for each specific business entity. In addition the debt counselor may make
suggestions for the business managers to follow, such as how finances can be handled
differently to improve the situation.
The counselor then negotiates with individual creditors to settle a company�s debts
for an agreeable amount. Alternatively, your counselor may negotiate the terms and
interest rates of your loans, or may develop a realistic payment plan with creditors.
Debt Consolidation Laws
A business debt consolidation loan is a single loan that is taken out to pay off
all the debt that the company has incurred. In this way, the business entity has
only one payment per month, to the lender, versus multiple monthly payments to each
creditor. The concept behind this process is to seek out a much lower interest rate
on the debt consolidation loan, than would otherwise be available with the other
creditors. Obtaining a debt consolidation loan for a business can be significantly
more difficult as the amount of money you are dealing with in usually in the hundreds
of thousands of dollars. Conversely, businesses are created for the sole purpose
of creating revenue. Therefore, if revenue is enough to cover the loan and other
business expenses, the company is in a win-win situation.
Business Bankruptcy
In the event that a business has to file for bankruptcy protection, a business has
different options to choose from. They include either a Chapter 7 or Chapter 11
bankruptcy.
A chapter 7 bankruptcy is liquidation bankruptcy for individuals and/or businesses.
Filers� assets are sold, and those monies money are used to pay some debts. In order
for creditors to be eligible to receive any of these payments, the creditors must
file a claim. All unsecured debts that remain unpaid are usually discharged, while
secured debts are granted the property owed to them.
Once a business has filed chapter 7, that business will almost certainly ceases
to exist.
A chapter 11 bankruptcy is reorganization bankruptcy for individuals and/or businesses
however is mostly utilized only by businesses. It is the usual choice for large
companies, as it relies on a restructuring of finances rather than liquidation,
and filers retain control of their assets.
In this situation, the business continues as usual, however under the discretion
of the bankruptcy court. A creditors� committee is established by a U.S. Trustee
with which the company must negotiate a plan for repayment. In order for the plan
to be approved, the creditors must vote for agreement.
