This is not a loan

You already own the money. We just get it to you sooner.

When someone else's negligence put you in this position, the money at the end of your case is yours. The problem is timing: your claim may take a year or three, and your landlord is on a monthly schedule.

A pre-settlement advance is a non-recourse purchase of a portion of that future recovery. We buy a slice of the proceeds. You get cash today. If your case recovers nothing, we get nothing — and you keep every dollar we sent you.

How it works

Four steps. Most of them are ours.

You fill out a short form and pick up when we call, or reply to our text. We do the rest, including the paperwork with your law firm.

01

Apply in about two minutes

Tell us who you are, what happened and who represents you. No credit check, no bank statements, no employment history — the case is the application.

2 minutes
02

We call your attorney

We request the case file from your law firm and handle the paperwork with their staff. Your attorney's involvement is a signature and a few documents — not hours of work.

Same day
03

We underwrite the case, not you

Our underwriters look at liability, injuries, treatment and available insurance coverage to decide what your claim can support. Your credit score and income never enter into it.

24 hours (typical)
04

You sign, you get funded

You review a plain-English agreement that states exactly what you will owe at settlement. Sign it and funds go out the same day by direct deposit, wire, or in-person pickup.

Why Hello World Funding

The version of this business we'd want to deal with.

This industry has a reputation, and a lot of it is earned. We built ours around the parts people complain about most.

The number in writing, first

Before you sign anything, you get a plain-English agreement showing exactly what you will owe at settlement. Not a rate you have to do math on. If a number in your contract was never explained to you, do not sign it.

A person, not a portal

You get one specialist who knows your file and picks up when you call — or texts you straight back. No queue, no re-explaining your accident to a new rep every time, and no chasing us for a status update.

We will tell you to take less

The cost of funding grows with the amount and the time your case takes. If you ask for more than you need, we will say so — and you can always come back for more later if the case drags on.

Easy on your law firm

One specific document request and one acknowledgment, usually handled by a paralegal in a single email. We never charge your attorney, and we never call the office over and over for a case update.

We do not sell your information

We fund our own deals. Your application is not a lead we resell, so applying here will not set off a week of calls from companies you never contacted.

Fast, and honest about it

Most decisions land within about a day of your attorney sending the file, and approved applicants are usually funded the same day they sign. The bottleneck is almost always documents, so we will tell you exactly what we are waiting on.

Why this matters

The insurance company is counting on you being broke.

Delay is a strategy, not an accident. Every month a claim stays open is a month the adjuster is betting your savings run out before your patience does. When rent is late and the car is about to be repossessed, a lowball offer starts to look like a rescue.

That is the exact moment funding is for. Covering the gap takes the pressure off, and it gives your attorney what they actually need to negotiate: the ability to say no.

  • Your lawyer can hold out for what the case is worth
  • You are not negotiating from a position of desperation
  • You decide when to settle — not your landlord

What people actually use it for

  • Rent or the mortgage
  • Groceries and utilities
  • The car payment, so you keep the car
  • Co-pays, prescriptions and travel to treatment
  • Childcare while you cannot lift or drive
  • Catching up on the bills that piled up

There are no receipts to submit and no restrictions on how you spend it. The one exception: funding is for your living expenses, not for paying the costs of the litigation itself.

What clients say

Straight answers, and then the money.

★★★★★

My car was totaled and I was out of work for four months. The adjuster kept telling my lawyer to be patient. Hello World got back to me the same afternoon and I made rent that month.

Danielle R.Car accident
★★★★★

I called three companies. This was the only one where an actual person picked up and explained what I would owe at the end before I signed anything. No games.

Marcus T.Slip and fall
★★★★★

They dealt with my attorney's office directly so I did not have to chase anybody. My paralegal told me afterward that it was the easiest funding company she had worked with.

Yolanda P.Medical malpractice
★★★★★

The insurance company offered a fraction of what my case was worth and my lawyer said hold out. I could not have held out without this. We settled for far more months later.

Ken A.Truck accident
★★★★★

Straight answers, no runaround, and they actually told me to take less than I asked for so I would keep more at the end. Nobody in this business does that.

Priya S.Workers' compensation
★★★★★

I was skeptical because of the reviews I read about other companies. There were no surprises here. What they said on the phone is what was in the contract.

Rob M.Premises liability
★★★★★

We were burying my husband and worrying about the mortgage in the same week. They were kind about it and they were fast. That mattered more than I can say.

Testimonials reflect the experience of individual clients and are not a guarantee of any particular result. Funding decisions and terms depend on the facts of each case.

For attorneys

We make this the easy part of your file.

  • One document request, not a fishing expedition
  • No cost to your firm, ever
  • We never fund a client without your knowledge
  • If we decline, we tell your client — not you
  • Zero involvement in strategy or settlement authority

Your client's funding shouldn't become your problem.

A client who cannot pay rent is a client calling your office weekly, pushing to settle early, and losing faith in the process. Funding solves that without adding work to your plate.

We send a short, specific document list to your paralegal, we get a decision back quickly, and we handle the client communication ourselves. Your firm is never billed, never asked to guarantee anything, and never asked to change how you run the case.

Common questions

The things everybody asks first.

Is pre-settlement funding a loan?

No. A pre-settlement advance is a non-recourse purchase of a portion of the money you may receive from your legal claim. Because it is a purchase and not a loan, there is no credit check, no co-signer, no monthly payment, and nothing is reported to the credit bureaus.

The only source of repayment is your settlement or verdict. If your case does not resolve in your favor, you keep the money and you owe us nothing. That risk sits with us, not with you.

What happens if I lose my case?

You owe us nothing. That is what non-recourse means and it is the whole point of the product. We do not send you a bill, we do not send you to collections, we do not garnish your wages, and we do not touch your house or your car. Our advance is repaid out of your recovery, and if there is no recovery there is nothing to repay.

Do I need good credit or a job to qualify?

No. We do not run a credit check, we do not ask for pay stubs, and we do not care about your employment history, your bank balance, or a past bankruptcy. Those things tell us nothing about whether your claim will recover.

We underwrite the case, not you: who was at fault, how badly you were hurt, what treatment you have had, and how much insurance coverage is available.

Do I have to have a lawyer?

Yes. You must be represented by an attorney handling your claim on a contingency fee. There are two reasons. First, we rely on your attorney for the case documents that let us underwrite. Second, funding is only a good idea when a professional is fighting for the full value of your claim, and a lawyer working on contingency has the same incentive we do.

If you are not represented yet, we cannot fund you, and we do not recommend or refer specific attorneys or firms — California law expressly prohibits a funding company from doing that, and it is a rule worth having. What we can do is point you at your state or county bar association's lawyer referral service, which is independent of us.

Will my attorney have to do a lot of work?

Not much. We ask your law firm for the case file and a signed acknowledgment, and then we handle the rest. Most of the back-and-forth happens between us and a paralegal, and most firms are done with their part in a single email exchange. We never charge your attorney or your firm anything.

We also never direct, influence, or take part in how your case is handled or settled. Those decisions belong to you and your lawyer.

How fast can I get the money?

Most applications get a decision within about 24 hours of the moment we receive the case documents from your attorney's office, and approved applicants are usually funded the same day they sign. The single biggest variable is how quickly your law firm sends the file, so it helps to give your paralegal a heads-up that we will be calling.

Timing depends on approval and on documents arriving; it is typical, not guaranteed.

What can I spend the money on?

Whatever you need. Rent or mortgage, groceries, the car payment, utilities, childcare, co-pays and prescriptions, or catching up on bills that piled up while you could not work. There is no requirement to spend it a particular way and no receipts to submit.

The one thing it is not for is funding the litigation itself — case costs are your attorney's side of the table.

How much should I take?

As little as you can get by on. We will say this on the phone too, even though it is not in our short-term interest: the cost of funding grows with the amount and the time your case takes, and every dollar you take now is a dollar that comes out of your settlement later.

Take what covers the gap, not the maximum you qualify for. If you need more later, you can apply again.
