Direct Funder
What a Direct Funder Means
in Pre-Settlement Funding
The company you talk to should be the company that funds you. This page explains what a direct funder is, why it matters, and which three questions to ask before you sign.
When you search for financial relief after an accident, many of the websites you find might present as “funders,” but they are not. Their goal is to collect leads, pass those leads to an actual funder, and earn a commission. With Go Philly Funding, there is no middleman and no third-party commission. We own the relationship. And we provide the transparency, clarity, competitive rates, and attention to service that have become the hallmark of how we treat and help our clients.Wm.

With Go Philly Funding, the company you talk to is the company that funds you
As a direct funder, we review your case ourselves. We make our own decision, and we advance our own funds to help you. The company on your agreement is the company you talked to on the phone. One company, start to finish.
A lead site is paid, often 10 to 15 percent, to pass your application to an actual funder, and that cost ends up inside your funding. That is why the three questions at the end of this page are worth asking, no matter who you are talking to.
Why direct funding matters when you may need financial help now
No third-party commission
Your agreement is with us and no one else. Nothing extra is built into your funding to pay a middleman.
One decision-maker, faster answers
The decision is made here, so nothing waits on a go-between. Once your attorney provides what we need, funds can be available in as little as 24 hours.
You know exactly who you are dealing with
The people who fund you are the people who answer your questions, before you sign and after. Nobody has to check with somebody else.
Nothing gets lost in translation
The numbers you see are the numbers we wrote, and the people explaining them are the people who wrote them.
We show you the whole picture before you sign
Schedule of Agreed Upon Price
Your full cost, in writing, before you sign.
Every funding agreement we write starts with a SOAP, our Schedule of Agreed Upon Price: what you owe today, your interest rate, and the principal and interest owed at every three-month mark. You see it before you sign, not after.
Our contracts are printed, clear, and written for a layperson to understand. Nothing is buried in fine print. We explain the agreement, ask if anything does not make sense, then ask again. We would rather explain twice than have you wonder once.
Oversight is coming to litigation funding, state by state, and we welcome it. We want to be ahead of the rules, not catching up to them.
And the part that matters most: our funding is non-recourse. You have no personal obligation to repay Go Philly Funding from your own assets or income if you lose your case.
Three questions worth asking any company that offers to fund your case
“Are you the funder, or will my application be passed to another company?”
Either answer can be legitimate. You just deserve to know which one it is before you sign.
“Can I see the full cost schedule over time before I sign?”
Any funder should be able to show you what you would owe at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months, in writing, up front.
“What is the annual rate?”
Be wary when companies advertise a monthly rate. They do that because the low number entices people to think, “that’s not that much.” But the number that matters, and that you should understand, is the yearly rate. Ask any company, including ours, to state it plainly. We always will.
