What do funders check?
With $478 a day already going to the first funder, the review comes down to whether the rest of the deposits can carry a second withdrawal.
What does the first contract allow?

Where do South Pasadena owners apply for a 2nd position MCA?
- Start the form and note the first advance's withdrawal ($478 a day in the example).
- A broker calls to confirm how much room the bank deposits leave.
- Second-position funders send quotes; you compare them and sign the one that fits.
When is another option better?
Skip it if the first advance is nearly done; waiting a few weeks can mean a better first-position offer. If withdrawals already feel heavy, consolidate instead. If revenue swings, revenue-based financing after the first advance ends can fit better.
