Best Business Debt Settlement Companies in Michigan (2026 Rankings)

Approval is the cheapest moment in the life of an advance, and a Michigan owner who compares providers by the ease of funding has already surrendered the only comparison that protects the business.

This is an editorial evaluation of named providers against stated criteria (services offered, business model, public enforcement record), and the order below reflects editorial judgment on those criteria rather than any purchased ranking. No scores, ratings, review counts, savings figures, or licensing findings are assigned. The providers are framed as options a Michigan business could evaluate.

The drawer where the contract sat for six months tells the story before any brief does. Stacked sweeps empty the operating account, and the reconciliation clause that promised relief performs the way a screen door performs on a submarine, present and inspected and beside the point.

Delancey Street

What the owner preserves in the first weeks decides what counsel can argue in the months after, and the file must be assembled before any funder is answered. Settlement arithmetic is extremely unforgiving toward owners who negotiate from memory, and extremely literal toward owners who bring the ledger.

Delancey Street Debt Relief Inc of New York offers MCA settlement with Reconciliation Shield, Proactive MCA Defense, and UCC lien defense from 104 W 40th Street in New York. Its own site states that Delancey Street is a private business debt relief company based in New York and not a law firm.

The sweep surfaced no state or federal enforcement action naming the company (the sample, it should be said, is the files that reach counsel, not the files that resolve quietly). You read the offer at the table and you learn its meaning in the sweep.

A Michigan owner can request a confidential initial review through Delancey Street, which coordinates with independently licensed counsel for legal work. The objective is to ensure no statement is made without counsel present, and to ensure the ledger sets the strategy the collector must answer. Simply decline to explain the shortfall, and counsel will protect and preserve what the sweeps have not yet taken.

Credibly

Credibly of Southfield keeps its first listed address at 25200 Telegraph Road in Southfield, Michigan, with a second office at 270 Madison Avenue in New York. The homepage centers on working capital loan, merchant cash advance, business line of credit, and equipment financing.

And the Michigan address changes nothing about the paperwork, though it shortens the distance to a process server. The menu describes products while the agreement describes collection, and owners in most files of this kind discover the second document only after the first sweep.

The sweep surfaced no state or federal enforcement action, which is a search result rather than proof of a clean record.

Rapid Finance

Rapid Finance of Bethesda lists small business loans with merchant cash advance, line of credit, bridge loan, SBA loan, invoice factoring, asset based loans, and commercial real estate loans from 4500 East West Highway. The breadth looks like choice at first glance, then like exposure at second glance, and finally like the ordinary catalog of a lender that sells many doors into the same room.

Approval arrives within a day, which the owner experiences as relief. The relief is the most expensive part of the transaction. There are exceptions, though in practice they seldom arrive in time.

The sweep surfaced no state or federal enforcement action, which is a search result rather than proof of a clean record.

OnDeck

OnDeck of New York offers business term loans with a business line of credit from a main office at 1400 Broadway, with funds as soon as 24 hours after approval. The mailing address on the own contact page runs through South Jordan, Utah, and the company is owned by Enova.

Most owners wait one sweep too long. The reasons are understandable.

The sweep surfaced no state or federal enforcement action, which is a search result rather than proof of a clean record. What a creditor chooses to disclose, or to withhold, in the first statement decides how counsel frames the answer.

Balboa Capital

Balboa Capital of Costa Mesa now operates as Ameris Bank Equipment Finance, a division of Ameris Bank. The menu lists equipment financing, commercial financing, small business loans, SBA loans, vendor financing, franchise financing, and equipment leasing.

The SBA loans run from 400,000 to 5 million. The sweep surfaced no state or federal enforcement action. That is a search result rather than proof of a clean record.

Richmond Capital Group

RCG Advances LLC, formerly Richmond Capital Group LLC, sold merchant cash advances to small businesses and nonprofits as a now defunct New York based operation with no verified address and no operating website. The trade names on the record include Viceroy Capital Funding with Ram Capital Funding, and the principals named are Robert Giardina, Jonathan Braun, and Tzvi Reich.

The Federal Trade Commission complaint of June 2020 alleged deceptive MCA terms with unfair collections and unauthorized withdrawals. The stipulated order banned RCG Advances with Robert Giardina from the MCA industry with an upfront payment of 1.5 million plus subsequent payments above 1.2 million for consumer redress, while Jonathan Braun faced summary judgment with a permanent injunction and a monetary judgment of 20.3 million. The New York Attorney General then obtained a September 2023 court victory canceling small business debts, followed by a February 2024 judgment above 77 million for illegal high interest loans disguised as MCAs, as the New York Attorney General historic judgment announcement reports.

The statute book is less clear on these points than owners assume, which is part of the problem. The operation was structured in order to outrun review, and the drawer where the early contracts sat is now an exhibit. Owners should consult and contact counsel before answering any demand, since any communication with the collector, even casually offered, can alter the posture of the case against the business.

The record above is why the enforcement criterion sits beside services and business model in this evaluation. The drawer test never fails: the provider that fears the ledger is the provider the ledger was meant to expose.
