Why an Applicant Needs an Independent Case Broker - It's All About You
If advance companies are in the public marketplace, then why does the Applicant need an independent Case Broker? Why don’t they just try to get an advance on their own? There are a number of reasons why they don’t:
(A) An Applicant usually doesn’t know that an advance company or advance payments even exists. Being able to get some upfront money before a legal case is even started is something that is known by only a few people…you, for example. It is so little well-known that it could almost be considered a secret. As was stated earlier, you, as an independent Case Broker, are one of the few people that hold the key to getting an advance payment- You know the secret, the Applicant usually doesn’t.
(B) Even if the Applicant did know the secret of the advance payment, they don’t ordinarily know where to go to get it. Most of the information readily available to the public mentions a few companies that will provide money only after the case is finished and only if the Applicant has won the case, not before a case is even filed. Because of their knowledge of the process, the independent Case Broker can seek out valid advance companies that want to do this.
(C) Sometimes the Applicant doesn’t even know they have a case and, even if they do know, they don’t have a lawyer…and if they don’t have a lawyer, the advance companies won’t pay any upfront money. As an independent Case Broker, you can at least tell them that they may want to seek legal counsel and then they may be able to hire a lawyer and then a roadblock is resolved.
(D) Even if they overcame all of this, while an Applicant seeking an advance on their own may be able to figure out how to traverse the gauntlet to an advance payment, they will not have the knowledge (or the working relationship with the advance company) that you have. Your expertise gives the Applicant their best chance to get an advance and you, as an independent Case Broker, are their connection to the advance company.
And there is another reason why the independent Case Broker is important to the Applicant.
