How freight and logistics companies end up with more than one advance

At Merchant Fund Express, we publish the terms and thresholds behind this page so you can check your own numbers before you apply.

Logistics companies stack when brokers pay late: an advance covered settlements, another covered it. Daily debits arrive each morning; the broker pays in 45 to 60 days.

In plain terms: an advance taken for settlements while brokers paid late, then another to bridge the first.

What can be done

First and second position are both funded. Existing positions with a balance of $100,000 or less can be bought out into a weekly-payment term loan or a line of credit, and a line of credit up to $350,000 can sit in second position behind an existing advance. Up to two current positions fit the written guidelines, and some agreements restrict new financing, so read yours first. See MCA refinance and second position funding.

Daily versus weekly, on a freight or logistics company numbers

An illustration, not an offer. Say a freight or logistics company with about $150,000 in monthly revenue has a remaining advance balance of $72,000, being collected over about 60 business days:

ItemIllustration
Daily debit (60 business days)$1,200
Debited in a 21-day month$25,200 (17% of monthly revenue)
The same balance as a weekly payment over about 9 weeks$8,000
Terms of a new scheduleSet in your offer; a lower payment over a longer term is the goal

What to line up first

Match advances to the broker invoices they covered
Consider factoring the slowest payers
Ask for weekly payments aligned with settlement day
Disclose every open position on the application; it shows on your statements either way.

Common questions

Can a freight or logistics company get more funding while carrying an advance?

Often. Companies with several brokers and consistent deposits fit up to two positions. Merchant Fund Express shows the exact amount, schedule and total cost in your offer before you sign.

Can an existing advance be bought out?

Where your file and your agreement allow it, balances of $100,000 or less can be bought out into a weekly-payment term loan or line of credit.

Second position or a renewal?

Second position is a new agreement behind the existing one, so you make both payments. A renewal is more funding from the funder you already have, with one payment.
