How To Get Small Business Debt Relief

By Laura Sanders


Even the most frugal people have debts somewhere. It can be your mortgage or money you owe the milkman. When you run a business, you will owe one supplier or another, money. If you have good cash flow this is not problematic, however, if you do not you might be drowning in loans. To get out of this messy situation, you will need to find a small business debt relief option that suits you.

One of the first things you need to do is to identify where and why money is being lost. Maybe you have too many employees, or you have invested in ventures that do not bring you any profit. Once you have done this, you can cut back, and the money you save can be redirected to clearing your piling debts. At this point, you shall also need to revisit your budget and start cutting out the unnecessary expenses.

Two reasons why you might not be able to pay your dues might be because of the high, interest rates, or the short payment period. Even if some creditors might be stubborn and refuse to listen to your suggestions, others might be genuinely willing to help. They can offer extension periods for you, or even lower the percentage of interest you are required to pay. This, however, will not happen until you talk to them.

Another option that is available to you is debt consolidation. In this case, you take one loan, which allows you to pay all the smaller debts, and then you are left settling the larger one. This option is usually suitable for people with a steady income, and in most scenarios, you will find that the loan you take will have a relatively low-interest rate.

Some situations are extreme, and you may have to take legal action like filing for bankruptcy. The amount of debt you are in, and the kind of debt it is, determines how you file. It will also be used to decide whether you get these loans restructured, or wiped clean. This option should not be taken lightly and is only advisable as a last resort because it tends to have long term consequences.

If you happen to be in a financial disaster, you should seriously consider seeing a financial counselor. This person will help you sort your cash flow problems by identifying the problem, and then helping you come up with solutions which will suit you.

Regardless of the step you take, you will have to ensure that you are more careful with your funds and also more frugal. Having well-kept records and a monthly and yearly budget will also ensure that you know where your priorities lie.

You also have to learn how to save money for emergencies. This might look hard when you are making small profits, but your savings do not necessarily have to start putting away large amounts. Be very careful also not to mix your personal and corporate funds.
