Many of the Arkansas owners we talk to run businesses in health care, restaurants and retail. When revenue dips, fixed MCA debits don't, and that's usually when they call. Arkansas's trucking, poultry and retail supply-chain businesses, many tied to Northwest Arkansas, often operate on thin margins and delayed receivables.
Default, lawsuits and judgments in Arkansas
A missed debit usually triggers the default clause. Expect calls to you and any personal guarantor, a demand for the full remaining balance, and possibly a lawsuit, often filed in New York because that's what most contracts specify. A New York judgment can then be domesticated in Arkansas and enforced against your accounts.
Arkansas is restrictive about confessions of judgment; have any clause reviewed. Until an attorney confirms otherwise, assume a confession clause could be used, and try to negotiate before a default.
Arkansas rules that affect your settlement
Disclosures. Arkansas has no MCA-specific disclosure law, so funders aren't required to show you a standardized total cost or APR. We calculate it for you during your review.
Interest limits. Arkansas's constitution caps interest at 17% for most non-bank lenders, with no general business exemption, which can matter if an MCA is treated as a loan. That gives us another point to raise when we negotiate.
Worth knowing: Arkansas courts have enforced MCA arbitration clauses, so check where disputes must be heard.
Nothing here is legal advice. If you've been sued or served, talk to an attorney; we can work alongside one.

Often, yes. A realistic proposal backed by your bank statements gives a funder a reason to accept less or stretch the payments out, rather than chase a business that can't pay.
Can an MCA funder get a judgment against my Arkansas business without a lawsuit?
Arkansas is restrictive about confessions of judgment; have any clause reviewed. Until an attorney confirms otherwise, assume a confession clause could be used, and try to negotiate before a default.
Does Arkansas regulate merchant cash advances?
Arkansas has no MCA-specific disclosure law, so funders aren't required to show you a standardized total cost or APR. We calculate it for you during your review.
