MCA debt relieffor West Palm Beachbusinesses.
West Palm Beach is the seat of Palm Beach County, with a downtown built around Clematis Street and a business base that swells and thins with the winter season.
Key points
- Many West Palm Beach businesses earn the bulk of their year in the winter season, while a merchant cash advance drafts the same amount in July as in February.
- Contractors and medical practices in the city are often paid weeks after the work, while an advance collects every business day.
- Anchor Resolve’s only office is in Miami, and West Palm Beach owners can handle every step by phone, text, email and e-signature.
- Anchor Resolve is not a law firm, does not hold client funds, and leaves the negotiating to a servicing partner’s team.
A season that fills, then empties
West Palm Beach grew up on tourism and the winter produce trade, and the season still sets the rhythm for much of the city. Winter residents and visitors arrive in the cooler months and thin out by late spring.
Restaurants, bars and shops on Clematis Street, the old main shopping district that became downtown’s nightlife strip, feel this most. A merchant cash advance signed in January is usually sized on January sales. By July the dining rooms are quieter, the draft is unchanged, and hurricane season, June 1 through November 30, adds the risk of closed days. The restaurant guide explains how a slow season can be documented for a reconciliation request.
Contractors on renovation and new building
Builders, remodelers and specialty trades serve the homes, condominiums and offices around West Palm Beach. A contractor on a renovation often collects a deposit, buys materials, and then waits for draws as each phase is approved, with retainage held back until the end.
When a draw is delayed by an inspection, a change order, or an owner who has gone north for the summer, the daily draft keeps running. That gap is how a contractor ends up with a second and third advance. A funder’s notice to a general contractor or property owner can then do further damage to the relationships the business depends on, which the construction guide explains.
Practices and professional firms
The city’s own business profile lists healthcare, investment and financial services, marine services, biotech and professional services among its established industries. Medical and dental practices here bill insurers and wait weeks for payment, while an advance draws on the operating account every business day.
A practice can look full on the schedule and still bounce a draft the week before a reimbursement batch arrives. The medical practice guide covers how practices map payer timing against their drafts, and why acting before a default notice arrives keeps more options open.
How the work runs from the Miami office
Anchor Resolve’s office is in Miami, and West Palm Beach owners work with us by phone, text, email and e-signature. The Miami office is open by appointment if a meeting helps.
After a free review of every position, a servicing partner’s negotiation team works with your funders on your behalf, and each new agreement waits for your signature. Results vary and no outcome is guaranteed. If a funder has already sued, speak with a licensed attorney in Florida first.

Common questions
My business makes most of its money between December and April. Can the review account for that?
The review starts with your deposits month by month, so a heavy winter and a light summer are visible from the first call. Any new schedule a funder agrees to is put in writing and signed by you. Results vary and no outcome is guaranteed.
Do I have to drive to Miami?
No. West Palm Beach owners can do everything by phone, text, email and e-signature. In-person meetings are available at the Miami office by appointment.
A funder has threatened to sue my West Palm Beach business. Can you still help?
If you have been served or threatened with a lawsuit, speak with a licensed attorney in Florida first, because deadlines can be short. A filed lawsuit does not by itself rule out a review, and a servicing partner’s negotiation team can work alongside your attorney.
