How does a second position merchant cash advance work?
A second position is an additional advance that sits behind one you already have. The first funder keeps its debit, and the second funder adds its own.
How do funders decide?
Room in the deposits after the first debit, a clean payment record on the first advance, and permission in the first contract.
Why take a second position instead of waiting?
Because the opportunity is now. For a restaurant, that means a patio build-out or a second location while the first advance is still running.
