How does a second position merchant cash advance work?
Think of it as a second advance stacked on the first. Both funding partners debit the account, so a business already paying $460 a day takes on a second payment beside it.
What goes into the funder's review?
How the first advance has been paid, how much of it's left, and what every day's deposits look like after its withdrawal.
How long do both debits overlap?
Until the first advance finishes. In the meantime, the account carries $809 a day, so the review checks that deposits cover it.
