Disbursement Funding


Disbursement funding is a type of finance used primarily by solicitors and the legal industry to fund disbursement payments on behalf of their clients, for goods or services received or the outcome of legal proceedings.

Many solicitors use loans for disbursement payments as a source of extra cashflow within the company.

We assist companies and borrowers to increase their spending power by obtaining the best disbursement funding options, quickly and efficiently, whilst ensuring their company requirements are fully catered for.

The Benefits of Disbursement Funding

1

Flexible Terms and Borrowing Amounts


Disbursement funding is generally more flexible in terms of loan amounts and terms in comparison with other business loan types.

Borrowing amounts are restricted to the value of your disbursement ledger, as well as your financial health and credit rating.

All proposals are subject to full underwriting & acceptance.

2

Speed of Approvals


Disbursement funding applications and approvals are relatively quick to process.

With no need for charges on assets or debentures, decisions are made based on your meeting the lenders eligibility criteria.

Many lenders will approve applications within 24 hours, provided that all the required documents are provided at the time of application.

3

Reduced Paperwork


As you are not using security or collateral when making the application there is less paperwork that needs to be completed.

In order to apply you only need an up to date disbursement ledger, latest 3 months bank statements and last filed accounts, along with proof of identity.

4

No Risk to Assets*


Loans on an unsecured basis do not use collateral as part of the credit agreement, meaning your assets are not at risk in the first instance. Instead the loan is approved on the basis of your disbursement ledger, financial health and credit rating.

*In most cases a personal guarantee is required to secure the finance to protect the lender in the event of a default. Luckily, there are a range of personal guarantee insurance products available for businesses using unsecured finance.

Disbursement payments can be a drain on a company’s cashflow and many organisations are seeking to cover make payments made behalf of their clients with fast and flexible finance options.
