MCA debt in New Mexico
New Mexico has about 172,100 small businesses, which account for roughly 53% of the state's employment, according to the SBA Office of Advocacy's 2025 profile. Health care, restaurants and construction employ the most people, and those are sectors where daily or weekly MCA debits are common.
New Mexico MCA law: what actually protects you
Disclosure
New Mexico is not among the states that require standardized MCA cost disclosures. That makes an independent review of each offer more important.
Confessions of judgment
New Mexico makes it unlawful to execute or obtain a confession-of-judgment clause before a debt accrues, and such clauses are void (NMSA § 39-1-16).
Usury
New Mexico generally doesn't cap rates agreed in a written contract for commercial loans, so usury rarely helps.
What this means for New Mexico owners
New Mexico law works in your favor on confessions of judgment: a pre-signed clause in your MCA shouldn't be enforceable here, so a funder that wants a judgment generally has to sue you and prove its case. On the rate side, New Mexico law gives business borrowers little usury protection, so your leverage is more likely to come from the reconciliation clause, documentation of your revenue and a clear plan for each funder.

How we help New Mexico owners
Our role is narrow on purpose: we're independent advisors, paid a flat fee, with no lender partnerships and no cut of any settlement. For New Mexico owners that means a free first review of your MCA contracts and cash flow, then a written plan weighing reconciliation, renegotiation, refinancing, settlement through a licensed provider, or attorney review.

We work with owners throughout New Mexico, including Albuquerque, Las Cruces, Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, Roswell and Farmington.
