How does a second position merchant cash advance work?
A second position is an additional advance that sits behind one you already have. The first funder keeps its withdrawal, and the second funder adds its own.
What goes into the funder's review?
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 room does the first advance leave?
Funders subtract the first debit from an average day's deposits. In the example, $433 already goes out every day before the second funder is paid.
