It is not uncommon for small or medium sized businesses to face problems when they are first beginning. It can be very easy to find your small business falling into debt due to all the costs including rent, equipment, wages, taxes and others. Many people become concerned that their only option is to simply give up on their business or file for bankruptcy but there are many options for corporate debt settlements that will leave your business still functional. Here are some of the options. 

Renegotiate
If your business has several large debts and you know there is no way to pay them off, a great option is to renegotiate with the creditor. Corporate debt settlements and renegotiations are possible because the creditors know they would lose a great deal of money if you file for bankruptcy. Therefore, by renegotiating or settling the debt, they will guarantee they receive at least a partial payment as opposed to nothing, which is what would happen if you filed for bankruptcy. 

Corporate Debt Restructuring
One of the best options for a struggling small business is corporate debt restructuring. This is a great option for businesses that have old debt in addition to newer bills that need to be paid and are having issues paying them all. It is also a great option if you have already renegotiated your older debts and despite this are still not able to meet the payments. With corporate debt restructuring, you can eliminate or greatly reduce your debt without having to cut down on staff or equipment. 

Consolidation Loans
Another option to help eliminate your business’s debt is to apply for a consolidation loan. By doing this, you will be able to consolidate all of your current debts into one single loan, greatly reducing your financial burden. This option also eliminates the need to choose which debts to pay off first as you will only have one to deal with.
