How does a second position merchant cash advance work?
Funders look at how much room the first withdrawal leaves in your deposits: the business has to carry both payments on an ordinary day.

Mainly two things: what the first withdrawal leaves in the account every day, and whether the first contract permits a second position.
How long do both debits overlap?
Until the first advance finishes. In the meantime, the account carries $701 a day, so the review checks that deposits cover it.
