How does a second position merchant cash advance work for a Pasadena business?
For a restaurant, the question is simple: after the first debit, do the day's bank deposits still cover a second one and the bills?
What do funders look at first?
The first advance's balance and withdrawal, bank statements since it funded, and whether its contract allows a second position. With a first debit of $389 a day, room in deposits decides the size.
What room does the first advance leave?
Funders subtract the first withdrawal from an average day's bank deposits. In the example, $389 already goes out each day before the second funder is paid.
