Funding situations

Funding with three open advances: over the limit, and the way back.

The revenue-based tier allows up to two current positions. At three, the route is not a fourth advance, it is fewer.

The short answer

At Merchant Fund Express, here is the short answer: The revenue-based tier allows up to two current positions. At three, the route is fewer positions through payoff, buyout or consolidation.

Where the limit is

Up to two current positions are allowed, and a balance of $100,000 or less can often be bought out. Three open advances puts a file above the limit, and the first step is to count the real payment load.

A worked load

Advance 1$310 daily$6,727 a month
Advance 2$1,100 weekly$4,730 a month
Advance 3$220 daily$4,774 a month
Total$16,231 a month

All figures in worked examples are illustrations of the arithmetic, not offers or quotes. Real terms depend on your file and the funder.

Ways back to two or one

Pay one off

Finish the smallest balance first if it is near done.

Buy out

Combined balances of $100,000 or less can often be bought out.

Consolidate

Replace all three with one weekly payment.

In practice

Three advances total $16,231 a month and the account goes negative every Monday. A consolidation pays off all three and replaces them with one weekly payment. The account stops going negative, and the owner is back inside the two-position limit.
