How does a second position merchant cash advance work?

What goes into the funder's review?
Room in the deposits after the first withdrawal, a clean payment record on the first advance, and permission in the first contract.
Why take a second position instead of waiting?
Because the opportunity is now. For a restaurant, that means a second dining room or a catering kitchen while the first advance is still running.
