The purpose of this and all articles posted by the undersigned is to educate the public about the lawsuit funding business as a whole. The premise is that if the public is more aware of the business and how it works, it will benefit the lawsuit loan industry and clients alike. This article will touch on the various ways lawsuit funding operations originate cases to consider for a lawsuit cash advance.

Like most businesses in which there is sufficient demand, new business is generated is a variety of ways. In the lawsuit funding business, business is usually originated either through the direct "in house" efforts or through lawsuit funding brokers.

Broker Origination

Originating business is essentially informing large numbers of people the services/products offered and then processing applications/orders for the product/service. The pre-settlement loan business is really no different. Lawsuit funding brokers specialize in the origination of lawsuit loans for funding companies.

Of course, there are costs associated with this part of the business and ultimately, all costs are passed along to the consumer. If you are applying for a cash advance funding on your lawsuit - you are the consumer.

Yet, a broker is also an entity which helps the applicant through the funding process. That company is a well qualified guide and can be extremely valuable to an applicant. Some of the benefits of working with a broker are:

1. Expertise in the Industry - Generally, people who earn a living in a certain endeavor obtain an expertise in that area. Specifically, the lawsuit funding business is a unique form of "specialty finance" in which common sense is mixed with intricate knowledge of the legal process. Those persons who have experience in the business are usually able to offer insight into the lawsuit loan process which otherwise, may not be available. This insight may prove valuable to applicants for pre-settlement loans.

2. Access to Multiple Lenders - Brokers also have relationships with various litigation cash advance funders. This may also serve to help the applicant since the underwriting of cases is fairly subjective and each lender has its own risk model. Access to multiple lenders can help the applicant with a "marginal" case obtain funding when cash would otherwise be unavailable.

3. Ability to Answer Questions and Personal Attention - Because lawsuit funding brokers are intimately aware of the funding process, they have the ability to answer most, if not all of your questions. More importantly, applicants have access to these individuals on a more consistent basis than if they were dealing with a direct lender. More communication usually results in more successful outcomes. Since applicants can better explain their position to the brokers, and the brokers' compensation is contingent on the applicant receiving cash for the lawsuit, brokers are eager to help.

Of course, the benefits listed above come with a cost. In the next post, we will discuss in detail the costs associated with utilizing the services of a broker when applying for a lawsuit loans.

Thank you for your interest in the lawsuit funding business.

"Contracts: The Essential Business Desk Reference," by Attorney Richard Stim

Many people don't realize just how important contract law is to our everyday lives. Contracts are not something reserved for lawyers and business executives, but govern many transactions from buying a house or car, signing up for a credit card, or insuring that car or house you purchased. If you purchase anything at a store you've entered a contractual transaction. We are constantly entering into, enjoying the benefits of, and possibly violating, contracts each and every day. If you run or manage a business, you will deal with even more contracts. Because of this, it is important for everyone to understand the basics of contracts, and essential for business owners to be able to interpret and draft contracts. This is where NOLO comes in. NOLO is the leader in publishing books that allow everyone to access legal information. "Contracts: The Essential Business Desk Reference" by attorney Richard Stim is an extremely useful resource text on contracts.

This is not the first book I would recommend or look to for the novice wanting to draft a contract, nor does this book have sample contracts or forms for multiple situations. What this book does contain is an alphabetical listing of just about anything you can think of involving contracts. It's simply a contract encyclopedia. (While it has definitions like a dictionary at times, the entries are more like an encyclopedia than dictionary.)

Besides the definitions, the book also has examples of contract provisions, sample contracts, and sample clauses that you can insert into contracts you are drafting. In some areas, Stim provides a little extra information, such as the seven pages on negotiation. Obviously, there is much more to negotiation, you can fill book shelves with books on this topic, but it is nice to have a little aimed at contract negotiation.

While you probably won't read this book cover to cover due to the way the book is written and organized (alphabetical listings), it is a handy reference to have on the shelf when you need it. And if you really want to know a lot about contracts, read it cover to cover. When reviewing a contract, this desk reference will enable you to look up parts of the contact to ensure you understand the document completely. Additionally, if you are drafting a contract, but are uncertain about part of it, this guide will be beneficial by assisting you with including the proper clauses. If you deal with contracts on a regular basis, you'll be glad this handy desk reference is on your shelf.
