Utah SB 183 is the state’s answer to the rising demand for MCA Loan Disclosure Laws. These rules are designed to protect small businesses from predatory financing. Merchant Cash Advances (MCAs) often promise fast cash. But hidden fees, unclear repayment schedules, and aggressive collections have left many owners struggling.
SB 183 changes that. It requires lenders to be transparent so business owners understand the true cost of financing before they commit.

Why SB 183 Matters for Small Businesses

SB 183 changes this by requiring:
- Clearer disclosures so borrowers can compare multiple offers
- Accurate cost breakdowns so owners see the real price of financing
- Protection from misleading terms that trap businesses in debt
