What should a Seattle owner know about how it works?
Because the two payments run side by side, the review centers on what is left of an average day's deposits once the first funder is paid.
What does a funder need to see?
Room in the deposits after the first withdrawal, a clean payment record on the first advance, and permission in the first contract.
What room does the first advance leave?
Funders subtract the first withdrawal from an average day's deposits. In the example, $420 already goes out every day before the second funder is paid.

What makes restaurants a fit?
First advance spent on food deliveries, line-cook payroll and equipment upkeep? A restaurant can still fund a second dining room or a catering kitchen with a second position. Seattle has 1,972 of them, 25.1 per 10,000 residents (U.S.: 15.4).
Why would beauty and nail salons pick a second position?
Mid-term growth for a salon means new stations or a remodel; a second position pays for it. That trade has 434 locations here (5.5 per 10,000 residents).
What does a second position do for clothing and accessories stores here?
Second positions let a clothing store keep stock buys, fixtures and floor staff covered and still fund a pop-up shop or a larger holiday buy. In the city, 253 operate, or 0.9% of employer companies.
How do the numbers work out for a restaurant?
Here a restaurant already paying $420 daily adds $33,000 in second position at 1.38, bringing its daily total to $781 on deposits of $95,000 a month.
| Sample case | Value |
|---|---|
| Monthly deposits (example) | $95,000 |
| First advance, daily debit | $420 |
| Second advance | $33,000 |
| Second advance factor rate | 1.38 |
| Second advance, daily debit | $361 |
| Combined daily debit | $781 |
| Percent of daily deposits | 17% |
What sets the cost?
The 1.38 factor in the example reflects second-position risk. More room after the first withdrawal, and a first advance that is mostly repaid, bring it down. For your own numbers, use the stacked payment calculator.

When does a second position merchant cash advance not fit?
For a gap that repeats every month, a line of credit costs less than stacking advances. If the two debits would take too much of an average day's deposits, a second position adds strain. In that case consolidation replaces the advances with one lower payment.

The first funder. That order is why second positions are priced higher.
