How is a second position advance set up?
Because the two payments run side by side, the review centers on what is left of an average day's bank deposits once the first funder is paid.
What do funders check?
How the first advance has been paid, how much of it's left, and what each day's bank deposits look like after its debit.
What does the first contract allow?
Some contracts limit added funding, so we read it before the file goes out. If it blocks a second position, consolidation is the next option to compare.
