Can I buy out two advances and still keep working capital?

Balances of $100,000 or less can be bought out; whether cash remains depends on the new amount minus both payoff quotes and fees. Use the buyout worksheet on our MCA refinance page.

Merchant cash advance

Buying out two advances and keeping some working capital

Consolidating two advances into one agreement can simplify payments and sometimes leave cash for operations. Whether anything remains depends on the new amount, both payoff quotes and fees, and the math is worth doing line by line.

How it actually works

Start with payoff letters, not estimates. Ask each current funder for a written payoff amount valid through a specific date. Remaining balances on advances are usually based on the purchased amount not yet remitted, and some agreements reduce that figure for early payoff while others do not. Exact numbers matter because the buyout is sized to them.

Calculate the cash that remains. New cash to the business equals the new funded amount minus deducted fees minus both payoff amounts. For example, a $90,000 buyout with $2,700 in fees that pays off $38,000 and $31,000 leaves $18,300 for operations. If the result is close to zero, the buyout is mainly a restructuring rather than new capital.

Compare payments before and after. Add the two current daily or weekly debits and convert to a weekly figure, then compare with the new payment. The main benefit of consolidating two advances is often one predictable payment, sometimes weekly instead of daily, that is lower than the combined current debits.

Weigh the total cost. A new agreement adds its own factor on the full new amount, including the portion used for payoffs. If the relief in weekly payments is small and the added cost is large, consolidation may not be worth it. If the current payments are causing negative days and returned items, the relief can be valuable.

MFE offers buyouts on balances of $100,000 or less. The new funder typically sends payoffs directly to the existing funders and requests UCC terminations, so confirm the timing to avoid overlapping debits.

Keep both old agreements and the payoff confirmations; they document that the earlier positions were satisfied.

A worked example

Here is the worked arithmetic for consolidating two advances. Illustrative numbers.

Net cash you receive$24,000
Weekly payment over 52 weeks$601
Same total as daily debits (~260 business days)$120/day
