MCA debt in West Virginia
According to the SBA Office of Advocacy, West Virginia is home to about 118,000 small businesses employing roughly 47% of its workforce. Most of those jobs are in health care, restaurants and retail, and owners in those sectors are frequent targets of MCA offers.
West Virginia MCA law: what actually protects you
Cost disclosure rules
West Virginia has not enacted a commercial financing or MCA disclosure law, so funders don't have to show you a standardized total cost or APR before you sign.
Confession-of-judgment rules
West Virginia voids confessions of judgment in consumer credit. For a business MCA, have any confession clause reviewed.
Usury and rate caps
West Virginia's rate limits don't apply to debts incurred primarily for a business purpose (W. Va. Code § 47-6-11), so usury rarely helps.
What this means for West Virginia owners
West Virginia'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, West Virginia 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.
