PRG’s Five Steps to Successful Settled Claim

Claim Types Managed

Merchant Cash Advances (MCAs)

A Merchant Cash Advance (MCA) is a form of business financing where a borrower receives an upfront lump sum of cash in exchange for a percentage of its future credit card sales or daily revenue (future receivables).

Bank Loans

A bank loan is the extension of funds from a financial institution to a borrower, with the agreement that the amount will be repaid with interest.

Equipment Loans & Leases

Equipment financing typically falls into two categories: loans and leases. An equipment lease is essentially a long-term rental agreement in which the owner of the equipment grants the user the right to operate the equipment in exchange for periodic lease payments.

Trade Vendors

Trade vendor debt refers to obligations owed to suppliers or trading partners for goods or services provided on credit. These debts are typically unsecured, meaning they are not backed by specific collateral. Vendors extend credit based on business relationships and the expectation of timely repayment.

Commercial Property Leases

A commercial property lease is a legally binding contract that outlines the terms under which a tenant (lessee) rents space from a property owner or landlord (lessor). The lease agreement guarantees the tenant the right to use the property for business purposes while ensuring the landlord receives regular payments for a specified period.

Worker's Comp Premium Audits / Insurance

A Workers’ Compensation Premium Audit is a review conducted by an insurer to ensure that a business’s workers’ compensation premiums accurately reflect its payroll, employee classifications, and claims history. These audits help verify whether a business has been paying the correct premium based on actual risk exposure.

Inventory Finance Agreements

Inventory financing is a specialized type of business loan or line of credit that allows companies—such as auto dealerships, retail stores, and wholesalers—to purchase inventory without paying upfront. This financing is typically secured by the inventory itself, meaning the lender retains a security interest in the goods until they are sold and the loan is repaid.

Note: PRG has over 15 years of experience in debt negotiations and settlements. However, please note that results may vary. Each case is unique and influenced by multiple factors including, but not limited to, the amount and type of debt, the debtor’s financial situation, and the creditor’s willingness to negotiate. Therefore, while we strive to provide the best possible outcomes, we cannot guarantee specific results.

FrequentlyAsked Questions

The duration of the debt settlement process can vary depending on the complexity of your situation and the responsiveness of your creditors. On average, settlements can be reached within a few weeks to several months.

PRG’s SimpleSettle stands out because of our tailored approach, which combines a deep understanding of creditor/debtor dynamics, a personalized strategy for each client, and our commitment to ethical practices and empowering you to make better financial decisions.  Additionally, our curated outside network of legal professionals coupled with our intense focus on small businesses’ financial operations make us particularly adept at handling complex business debt issues.

Using PRG eliminates the need to fund an escrow account that you may never be able to withdraw from. Our interests are aligned purely with achieving the best outcome for you, without the additional risk of funding an external account controlled by someone else. Often, debt settlement escrow accounts get eaten up by cancellation fees. At PRG, we aim to empower you to control your own money, and you certainly don’t need to pay 20 to 25% of your total debt obligation just for someone to set up a savings account for you!

Lawyers tend to focus on legal proceedings, which is very important.  Whereas, PRG focuses solely on the financial negotiation aspects, which if done timely can potentially prevent proceedings from escalating. The ultimate combination is PRG focusing on the financial debt resolution strategy and an attorney providing you with legal advice and creditor defense. When all systems are working together, you realize the best of both worlds. By leveraging PRG’s curated outside attorney network, you can achieve this under an affordable fee structure. You can also retain any counsel of your own choosing to work alongside PRG.

PRG stands out from other debt settlement companies due to our deep commitment to understanding and specifically catering to the needs of small businesses, especially in several niche industries. Unlike generalist firms, PRG offers affordable, transparent fees, ensuring you fully understand our fee structure upfront, with no hidden costs. Our fees are competitive and designed to be affordable, making professional debt settlement accessible to your business. Each client is assigned a dedicated negotiator, an expert who not only specializes in debt settlement but is also attuned to the complexities of your industry. This one-on-one attention ensures that your specific case is managed with the utmost care and expertise. Recognizing that some financial challenges require specialized legal advice, we provide access to a curated outside network of legal professionals. This outside network ensures you receive expert legal guidance at a fraction of the cost, further helping manage your debt in a compliant and strategic manner. We don’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions; instead, we tailor our strategies to fit the specific financial situations and objectives of each client. Beyond just settling debts, we focus on long-term financial health, helping businesses restructure their finances in a way that supports sustained growth and stability. Transparency and integrity are at the core of what we do, providing clear communication throughout the process, ensuring you understand and agree with our strategies. Our success is reflected in numerous client testimonials and case studies, which demonstrate our ability to negotiate outcomes that substantially alleviate financial burdens.

While specific client details remain confidential, we can share the types of outcomes we’ve achieved for businesses throughout a variety of industries.  We maintain a database of settlements achieved which can be evaluated across multiple variables illustrating that debt settlement is not a one size fits all outcome.

One of the key goals of our negotiations is to reduce the total debt burden on your business.  However, there is never a guarantee a creditor will be willing to reduce the debt but developing a ‘lump-sum’ settlement budget definitely increases the odds of negotiating a discount.

While no debt settlement firm can guarantee a settlement, we have a high success rate due to our experienced negotiators and proven strategies. If negotiations do not result in a settlement, we will reassess the strategy and can continue negotiations or explore other options.

We have extensive experience settling with nearly 1,000 different creditors, so the odds are favorable we have worked with your financial creditor.

If your receivables are being contacted directly by creditors, PRG can intervene by informing all parties involved that we are representing you in these matters, helping manage communications and ensuring that your business operations are not unduly disrupted.

Yes, part of our negotiation process can include addressing and resolving UCC liens placed on your assets as part of the settlement agreement. We work to either remove or restructure these liens to better suit your financial capabilities.

Upon reaching a settlement, the resolution of the lawsuit and the removal of any UCC liens can typically be completed within a few weeks, depending on the responsiveness of the legal parties involved.

If the financial terms of the settlement meet your criteria and you feel good about it, go for it.  You may want to ask a licensed attorney to review the settlement agreement.

We pride ourselves on transparency with our fee structure. We work on a set fee for our time and expertise. It does not matter how short or long each claim takes, we charge you the same fee for the duration of the claim.

We typically operate on a fixed fee basis, meaning our fees are set up front and it does not matter how long the claim takes, we will be with you until the end of the claim. We offer flexible payment options tailored to each client’s financial situation.

PRG can handle most aspects of the negotiation and settlement process, including basic legal support through our curated network of legal professionals. However, for specific legal proceedings or complex legal advice, hiring a specialized lawyer might still be necessary. We can assist in coordinating with appropriate legal counsel as needed.

No, we work on a fixed fee basis. We find that this is the fairest option for our clients. You pay for our expertise and our time and we agree up front on the fee allowing for predictable costs and no hidden surprises later.

The target settlement amount varies based on your specific financial situation and the creditor’s stance. Generally, we aim to reduce your debts substantially, often targeting reductions of 30-70%, depending on the case specifics.

We prioritize minimal disruption to your day-to-day operations. Our approach involves discreet and professional negotiations with creditors to ensure that business operations continue smoothly without undue stress or interruption.

Communication is key to our approach. You will be kept informed at every stage of the process, and we will coordinate all communications with creditors on your behalf. Regular updates and strategic discussions will ensure you are always in the loop.

Absolutely. In addition to debt settlement, we offer advisory services to help improve your financial management practices, ensuring healthier business operations and reducing the likelihood of future financial distress.

You will be assigned a dedicated negotiator who will be your main point of contact. They will provide regular updates and are always available for any queries you may have. Typically, we provide weekly updates, or more frequently as needed. However, it is important to note that sometimes debt settlement is a waiting game and requires a lot of patience.  Often times regular updates can seem a bit repetitive, but that is just part of the process.

You may be required to show various financial statements and/or bank statements to the creditor during the negotiation process. You likely provided this information when obtaining the credit or financing, so it’s reasonable to expect to show it again when seeking relief. PRG will also ask you to provide this information early in our onboarding process because it helps us generate a better narrative and hardship story using hard data and facts.Accordion Content

Business owners looking for debt settlement service

Merchant Cash Advances (MCAs)

A Merchant Cash Advance (MCA) is a form of business financing where a borrower receives an upfront lump sum of cash in exchange for a percentage of its future credit card sales or daily revenue. Unlike traditional bank loans, MCAs are not technically loans but rather an advance on future earnings, making them easier to qualify for but often much more expensive. A small business typically applies for an MCA through an alternative lender, which evaluates the company’s daily or monthly revenue. If approved, the business receives a cash advance, which is then repaid through daily or weekly deductions.  The repayment continues until the total amount owed, often significantly higher than the original advance, is fully repaid.

Questions:

NOTE: Many MCA debtors pledged their future receivables as collateral when obtaining the loan. Therefore, it is possible the creditor has the legal right to intercept payments made to your business from your clients either directly or indirectly through a credit card processing system.

Bank Loans

The extension of the money from a bank to another party with the agreement that the money will be repaid. Nearly all bank loans are made at interest, meaning borrowers pay a certain percentage of the principal amount to the lender as compensation for borrowing. Most loans also have a maturity date, by which time the borrower must have repaid the loan. If the purpose of the loan was to purchase certain tangible items (i.e. real estate or autos), it is more than likely “secured” by the property or equipment. If the loan was to “refinance” property it is almost always secured. If the loan is simply an extension of business credit (i.e. commercial line of credit), it usually has a security interest in “all business assets”. The best way to find out if a loan is secured or not is to review the original loan documents.

Questions:

Equipment Loans & Leases

Equipment financing typically falls into two categories: loans and leases. An equipment lease is essentially a long-term rental agreement in which the owner of the equipment (the lessor) grants the user (the lessee) the right to operate or utilize the equipment in exchange for periodic lease payments. Unlike a loan, a lease does not typically transfer ownership to the lessee; instead, the lessee pays for the right to use the equipment for a specified term. At the end of the lease, the lessee may have the option to purchase the equipment, renew the lease, or return the equipment. An equipment loan, on the other hand, is a financing arrangement in which the borrower takes out a loan to purchase the equipment outright. The equipment itself typically serves as collateral, meaning the lender can seize it in case of default. Loans result in ownership of the equipment once the borrower has fully repaid the principal and interest.

Businesses often choose between leasing and purchasing based on factors like cash flow, tax benefits, and the expected lifespan of the equipment. Reviewing lease agreements and loan terms carefully is crucial to understanding financial obligations and long-term commitments.

Questions:

Trade Vendors

Trade vendor debt refers to obligations owed to suppliers or trading partners for goods or services provided on credit. These debts are typically unsecured, meaning they are not backed by specific collateral. Vendors extend credit based on business relationships and the expectation of timely repayment.

For example, a roofing contractor may purchase lumber from a supplier on credit, agreeing to pay at a later date. While most trade vendor debts remain unsecured, certain suppliers—especially those providing materials for construction or improvement projects—may have legal protections, such as mechanic’s liens or supplier liens. These liens allow vendors to place a claim on the property where their materials were used if payment is not received. In such cases, the supplier’s claim could take priority over other unsecured debts and may even impact the property’s title.

Because of these potential lien rights, suppliers in industries like construction, manufacturing, and wholesale distribution may impose stricter payment terms, require personal guarantees, or exercise lien rights to secure payment. Understanding the terms of trade credit agreements, including the possibility of liens, is essential for businesses managing supplier relationships and financial obligations.

Questions:

Commercial Property Leases

A commercial property lease is a legally binding contract that outlines the terms under which a tenant (lessee) rents space from a property owner or landlord (lessor). The lease agreement guarantees the tenant the right to use the property for business purposes while ensuring the landlord receives regular payments for a specified period.

Unlike residential leases, commercial leases often involve more complex terms, including rent escalations, maintenance responsibilities, and tenant improvement allowances. Additionally, lease structures can vary, with common types including gross leases (where the landlord covers most property expenses) and net leases (where the tenant is responsible for additional costs like property taxes, insurance, and maintenance).

Because commercial leases can have long-term financial implications, businesses should carefully review terms related to renewal options, exclusivity clauses, and potential personal guarantees before signing. Understanding these terms helps ensure the lease aligns with the company’s operational needs and financial strategy.

Questions:

Workman’s Comp Premium Audits / Insurance

A Workers’ Compensation Premium Audit is a review conducted by an insurer to ensure that a business’s workers’ compensation premiums accurately reflect its payroll, employee classifications, and claims history. These audits help verify whether a business has been paying the correct premium based on actual risk exposure.

In the context of debt negotiation for unpaid or assessed insurance premiums, understanding these audits is crucial for small businesses looking to manage costs and improve cash flow. Inaccurate employee classifications or outdated payroll estimates can lead to overpayments, while unreported payroll changes may result in unexpected premium adjustments. By proactively reviewing audit results and ensuring proper classifications, businesses may uncover potential premium reductions, which can free up capital for settling debts and strengthening overall financial health.

Regularly monitoring workers’ comp classifications and payroll reporting can help businesses avoid unnecessary financial strain while ensuring compliance with insurance requirements.

Questions:

Inventory Finance Agrements

Inventory financing is a specialized type of business loan or line of credit that allows companies—such as auto dealerships, retail stores, and wholesalers—to purchase inventory without paying upfront. This financing is typically secured by the inventory itself, meaning the lender retains a security interest in the goods until they are sold and the loan is repaid.

A common example is floor plan financing, which is widely used by vehicle dealerships to stock their lots with new or used cars. The dealership secures a line of credit to purchase vehicles from manufacturers or suppliers and repays the loan incrementally as each vehicle is sold. Until repayment is made, the lender holds a lien on the financed inventory, ensuring repayment in case of default.

For businesses reliant on high-cost inventory, managing inventory financing effectively is crucial to maintaining cash flow and profitability. Borrowers must carefully monitor repayment schedules, interest rates, and loan terms to avoid excessive debt accumulation and ensure sustainable operations.
