# Fairhaven Business Partners > Plain help for business owners in a tight spot. Fairhaven Business Partners is a guide for business owners whose funding has gone sideways — declined, behind on daily payments, carrying more than one advance, or ready to get out.

Three or more, each taken to carry the last, is how a profitable business runs out of cash. The way out starts with one honest table. - [I want out](https://fairhavenbusinesspartners.com/situations#i-want-out): There are five ways out of a merchant cash advance: pay it down, pay it off early, refinance it, settle it or let it run. Each has a price, and some of the pric ## Talking to someone - [Talk to someone](https://fairhavenbusinesspartners.com/talk): a request for funding options, a consolidation conversation through the brand's network of partners, or a plain question by email - [Start a request](https://fairhavenbusinesspartners.com/apply) - [About](https://fairhavenbusinesspartners.com/about): how the site is written and how the brand is paid - [Contact](https://fairhavenbusinesspartners.com/contact) ## Policies - [Privacy](https://fairhavenbusinesspartners.com/privacy) - [Terms](https://fairhavenbusinesspartners.com/terms) ## Contact - Email: hello@fairhavenbusinesspartners.com - Email: team@fairhavenbusinesspartners.com
