In plain language

A new advance with the same funder after the earlier one is partly repaid.

The remaining balance is rolled into a new, larger advance. You receive the difference in cash.

Why it matters

Convenience can hide cost, so compare.

An example

$20,000 left on an old advance is rolled into a new $50,000, with about $30,000 net before fees.

What to watch for

In practice for Canadian businesses

Renewals are convenient because the funder already knows the file.

Questions to ask

In a file review

A renewal is read against payment history on the earlier advance, because it is the best evidence available. A funder that has watched clean remittances for months can approve quickly, and the file may need little new paperwork beyond fresh statements.

A common misreading

Renewing is not obligatory. A new advance sized to just the extra cash you need can be cheaper than rolling the old balance.
