How does a second position merchant cash advance work?
With a second position, a new funder advances money behind an existing funder. Each collects its own debit until its payback is complete.
What goes into the funder's review?
Room in the deposits after the first withdrawal, a clean payment record on the first advance, and permission in the first contract.
How long do both debits overlap?
Until the first advance finishes. In the meantime, the account carries $845 a day, so the review checks that deposits cover it.
