I refuse to put all the blame on the broker unless they are lying to get the deal done, which I'm sure many do. A lot of them promise better loans just around the corner if they 'prove' themselves by paying this one high interest advance back on time.

There is certainly a predatory component in MCA, but in the end, it is the business owner's responsibility to make sure he can afford the payments, regardless of what Johnny No-Thumbs tells him from his office in New Yawk. It's easy money for people with ****ty credit, and we all know how that works out in the end. (See mortgage crisis of 2007)
Same rhetoric was used in mortgages and payday loans. We all k now how that turned out.
