What should a San Francisco owner know about how it works?
For a remodeling company, the question is simple: after the first withdrawal, do the day's bank deposits still cover a second one and the bills?
What do funders look at first?
Mainly two things: what the first debit leaves in the account every day, and whether the first contract permits a second position.
What room does the first advance leave?
Funders subtract the first debit from an average day's bank deposits. In the example, $553 already goes out every day before the second funder is paid.
