Funding for your situation
What decides whether a medical practice with an open advance can add more funding, what a review compares, and a worked example.
✓ Checking what you qualify for does not affect your credit score.
A medical practice that took an advance for exam table and equipment and now needs capital for something else is in good company. Flu season and school physical months are heavy, with other stretches quieter. What matters to a reviewer is how the account behaved under the first debit.
Merchant Fund Express is a funding marketplace: you apply once, and the file is matched to the structure that fits it. The sections below show what this situation usually costs, how a funder reads it, and what to prepare.
Insurance and self-pay mix, with remittances arriving weeks after the visit. A reviewer sees that pattern in the statements before reading a word of the application.
Equipment is part of the picture. A failure such as a ultrasound repair or a refrigeration for vaccines can run $5,600 to $5,600 and interrupt revenue while it is down.
The documents that usually matter most for a medical practice are equipment or build-out quote and accounts receivable aging, alongside the bank statements.
Flu season and school physical months are heavy, with other stretches quieter. For a medical practice, that rhythm decides when a funding request reads best and how it should be repaid.
Balance, debit and payment history, and what it financed: exam table and equipment.
Insurance and self-pay mix, with remittances arriving weeks after the visit.
Negative days, NSFs and the average daily balance, read against flu season and school physical months are heavy, with other stretches quieter.
Second position, renewal or refinance, depending on how much has been paid down.

Often, depending on position count and account behavior. Look at second position funding, renewals and MCA refinance. Merchant Fund Express reviews the file the same day it is complete.
A second position sits behind the first on the same revenue. A renewal comes after the first is substantially paid down. See first position vs second position.
Three months of business bank statements, the existing agreement or a payoff letter, and equipment or build-out quote.
The minimum FICO is 500, and better credit means better products and terms. See credit score requirements for how the tiers work.
