i know you will do a 7 months if the merchant has a 12 month with on deck . but i have never seen a second position give longer then the first with the exception of quarter spot and iou .
I think if the merchant only qualified for a 4 month deal as a first position he probably wouldn't qualify for a 7 month second. However, it is not uncommon for us to match the term of the first position deal. In essence we want to avoid having the first position deal renewed one or more times while our second position isn't into the juice.
