Wisconsin MCA law: what actually protects you
Disclosure requirements
There is no Wisconsin law requiring MCA providers to disclose an APR or total cost of financing. You'll need to work out the real cost yourself, or with an advisor.
Judgment by confession
Wisconsin bars confessions of judgment in consumer transactions under the Wisconsin Consumer Act. For a business MCA, have any confession clause reviewed.
Is an MCA subject to usury limits?
Wisconsin's rate limits generally don't help business borrowers with MCAs; most disputes turn on reconciliation and the New York law most contracts choose.
What this means for Wisconsin owners
Wisconsin's rules on confessions of judgment in business contracts aren't as clear-cut as in some states, so treat any confession clause as live until an attorney tells you otherwise. On the rate side, Wisconsin 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.
