The person who answers
First callTakes the first conversation by phone or text. Listens, asks questions, does not pitch, and tells you honestly whether we think we can help or where you should go instead.
Anchor Resolve is a merchant cash advance debt relief firm that helps small business owners across the United States renegotiate stacked MCA balances and replace daily and weekly withdrawals with one manageable payment. No invented history, no borrowed badges: what we do, what we refuse to do, and how we get paid, on one page, so you can hold us to every line.

Hold us to what is written. Anchor Resolve puts every term and every fee in the program documents you review before you sign, and every commitment below is one you can test. That is why this page is a list of standards rather than a story.
The first layer of the problem is the product. A merchant cash advance is repaid by a fixed withdrawal that lands daily or weekly, and when the first one strains the account a broker calls with a second. Reverse consolidation providers report typical clients carrying three to seven active advances at once by the time they look for help.

Better Business Bureau complaint records document clients of some MCA debt relief firms who were told to stop paying their funders, paid tens of thousands of dollars in fees and deposits, and later found that no payment had been made to any lender on their behalf.

We started this firm to be the one we could not find when we studied this industry: fees in plain writing before any engagement, risk explained before strategy, program money in an account you control, and plain answers to plain questions, including the ones that cost us business.
Nothing here is dressed up with invented client counts or a borrowed number of years. What we publish is standards, so they are listed below, and we invite you to hold us to every line.
Every advance, renewal, daily draft, lien, and reconciliation clause, set against what the business actually deposits. Free, in plain English, yours to keep.
Under a written agreement you approved, toward terms your deposits can carry. Nothing requires a funder to agree, and results vary.
A bank, a licensed attorney in your state, a bankruptcy court, or your own contract’s reconciliation clause. We say so on the first call.
Factor rates, stacking, UCC liens, confessions of judgment, and what default actually looks like, every statistic sourced. The library is free.
We do not lend money, arrange new advances, sell reverse consolidations, or earn anything from any lender. If new capital is what you need, we say so and step aside.
We do not provide legal advice or representation. A lawsuit, a judgment, or a frozen account is a matter for a licensed attorney in your state, and we will tell you so. A lien or a judgment does not put your business outside what we do; we can work your positions alongside that attorney.
No reduction percentage, no timeline, no success rate, because no firm should quote yours before reading your contracts.
We are a private firm, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting for any federal, state, or local agency. There is no government MCA relief program that we administer.
Nobody can honestly commit to what a funder will do. We can commit to what we will do, and these are the four lines. Each one comes with a test, so you can catch us if we ever break it.
If we are talking, it is because you reached out first. The phones that sold you the advances are not ours. Real urgency belongs to your situation, never to our sales process; if a real clock exists, we name it and say whose it is.
The testIf someone calls claiming to be us and you never reached out, hang up. If you hear a countdown, it is not ours.
The consultation and the position review are free. Anchor Resolve charges a fee for its services, and every fee is set out in the program documents you review and sign before any work begins.
The testIf anyone asks you for money before you have read and signed those documents, stop and call us on the number in the footer.
Default, frozen accounts, and lawsuits are real. You hear that from us first, in plain words, before any decision.
The testIf you hear “just stop paying” with no explanation of default, freezes, and lawsuits, that is a red flag, from us or anyone.
Nothing you share is passed to lenders or brokers, and nothing is sold. If you become a client, a negotiation partner receives only what the work requires, under contract and under confidentiality. The dedicated account is opened in your name and stays under your control; money leaves it only under a written agreement you approved.
The testAsk whose name is on the account. If the answer is not you, walk away, from us or anyone.
One office, one phone number, and people who answer it.
Anchor Resolve works with business owners across the United States. Most of the process happens by phone, text, and email, which suits an owner running a restaurant or a trucking yard who cannot take an afternoon off. A daily or weekly draft reads the same in every state, and most MCA contracts already name an out-of-state forum, so distance from a funder is normal in this market. When sitting across a desk would help, you are welcome at the office.
Our services are offered only where we may lawfully provide them; during your first call we confirm whether we can work with a business in your state. The full note is in our Disclosures.
The office address is published so the firm can be verified, not as a service area. Anchor Resolve works with owners across the United States.
That is the business. A firm that obscures this, or buries it in a plan, is showing you a red flag, so here is ours in the open.
A real conversation, then a full map of your position, before any engagement is ever discussed. Both cost nothing and commit you to nothing.
Anchor Resolve charges a fee for its services. Every fee is set out in the program documents you review and sign before any work begins. There is no separate fee agreement, and there is no fee that was not in the documents you signed. The consultation and the position review are free and commit you to nothing. If anyone asks you for money before you have read and signed those documents, stop and call us.
Business debt relief is less regulated than consumer debt relief. That is exactly why you should require fee clarity in writing from any firm in this industry before you engage one.
Our guides and articles are written for a business owner reading on a phone at night, by the Anchor Resolve Editorial Team, and they are meant to be checkable. These standards apply to every page on this site, and every article links back here so you can see what it was held to.
No source, no statistic. Ranges stay ranges; we never convert a reported range into a single number or round one up.
When a published guide reports what other firms’ clients paid or saved, it is attributed to that source and paired with the plain fact that results vary and no outcome is guaranteed.
Anything of that kind published here will be consented, verifiable, and presented with honest context about what is typical. Never AI-written, never composite, never a stock photo.
We describe what a UCC-1 filing or a confession of judgment is. What you should do about yours is a question for a licensed attorney in your state, and every article says so.
Every guide shows when it was published and updated. When laws or industry practices change, the page changes, and the date moves with it.
If you find anything on this site that you believe is wrong or out of date, we genuinely want to know: hello@anchorresolve.com.
Three roles, and what each one does for you. We will never put a stock photo or an invented name on this page.
Takes the first conversation by phone or text. Listens, asks questions, does not pitch, and tells you honestly whether we think we can help or where you should go instead.
Maps every position from your contracts and bank statements: balances, drafts, renewals, liens, reconciliation clauses, and what your deposits can carry. Writes the review you keep.
Works each funder file once your program documents are signed: hardship documentation, proposals, and written agreements, plus the truth about how each conversation is going. The renegotiation is carried out by Anchor Resolve and its negotiation partners. Your agreement, and your point of contact, is Anchor Resolve.
None of these roles is an attorney, and Anchor Resolve is not a law firm. When your case needs one, we say so and encourage you to speak with a licensed attorney in your state.
