Litigation funding (also known as a lawsuit loan, lawsuit cash advance, lawsuit financing, litigation loan, litigation cash advance, litigation financing, pre-settlement loan, pre-settlement cash advance, pre-settlement financing, etc.) is a cash advance given by a litigation funding company that supplies a plaintiff (funds recipient) with sufficient money to get to the conclusion of the case. When the case is completed successfully, the company providing the funds is reimbursed from the verdict or settlement.

There are different parties in a litigation funding transaction: plaintiffs, funding sources, and brokers. The Funding Exchange was created to allow plaintiffs and/or brokers (on behalf of their clients) to apply for funding through an online litigation funding market.

On the broker tab of The Funding Exchange, select broker from the dropdown and then click the Register button. The registration process will lead you through a wizard and will prompt you for specific information. If you need help during the process or throughout the site, use the Help link on the top right of the screens to show information that should answer your questions.

On the broker tab of The Funding Exchange, enter your username/password, choose broker from the dropdown, and click the Login button. Upon a successful login, you will be taken to your homepage within The Funding Exchange’s portal.

A broker will gather the information from their client (plaintiff) about the amount needed, the case details, the attorney, etc., and create a lawsuit funding request through The Funding Exchange. The lawsuit funding request is routed to the most appropriate funding sources and, upon approval, the funds will be sent to the plaintiff outside of The Funding Exchange. The Funding Exchange does not wire the funds to the plaintiff but rather lets the funding sources transfer the money as they normally do: sending a check, wiring the money, automatically depositing the money into an account, or some other means of transferring the funds. Additionally, any contracts or funding agreements are signed outside of The Funding Exchange between all the parties involved.

The Funding Exchange routes a lawsuit funding application to the most appropriate funding sources. When the funding source approves and funds the request, the funding source transfers the brokerage commission to The Funding Exchange. The Funding Exchange then sends a check to the broker for the full commission - The Funding Exchange does not charge brokers to use the service.

Funding sources are matched to a lawsuit funding request based upon a number of different factors. The request may be matched to multiple funding sources until it is approved.

After a secure login, the Request tab in the broker's portal will show the list of lawsuit funding requests that have been created by the broker. The status of the lawsuit funding requests will be shown on the Request tab as well as on the lawsuit funding request itself when the broker drills down on the request. The status will show “Approved” when the lawsuit funding request has been accepted by a funding source. A status of “Approved” means that the funding source has viewed the lawsuit funding request and accepts the terms and the funding amount of the lawsuit funding request. The funding source will forward the contract to the attorney for his/her signature. After the contract has been signed and returned, the funds will be made available to the plaintiff. It is after this point that the status will be changed to "Funded."

The funding source that is assigned to a lawsuit funding request is anonymous through The Funding Exchange until it is approved. Upon approval, the funding source's identity will be revealed to the broker.
