What does a second position merchant cash advance involve?
The deciding number is what an average day leaves after the first withdrawal; with $86,000 in monthly deposits, that room sets the size of the second advance.
How do funders decide?
The first contract, the statements since it funded and what each day's bank deposits leave once that debit clears.
Why take a second position instead of waiting?
