How does a second position merchant cash advance work for an East Providence business?
A second funder advances cash while the first advance is still collecting $389 a day in the example; both debits then run side by side.
How do funders decide?
The first advance's balance and debit, statements since it funded, and whether its contract allows a second position. With a first withdrawal of $389 a day, room in deposits decides the size.
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.
