How is a second position advance set up?
With a second position, a new funder advances money behind an existing funder. Each collects its own debit until its payback is complete.
How do funders decide?
Mainly two things: what the first withdrawal leaves in the account each day, and whether the first contract permits a second position.
Which funders take second positions?
Only those that place behind an existing advance, and we send the file to them alone. They read the first funder's debit, $451 a day in the example, next to your bank deposits.

How do I get quotes on a second MCA in Costa Mesa?
- Start at afterfirstmca.com/apply and note the funder and balance of your first advance.
- A broker calls to confirm how much room the bank deposits leave.
- You compare quotes with the combined debit beside each one, $795 a day in the example.
What else should you consider?
Skip it when the first debit already takes a heavy share of deposits. Consolidating first, or waiting until the first advance is mostly paid back, leaves more room. For a gap that repeats each month, a line of credit costs less than stacking advances.
