How much does pre-settlement funding cost?

Get Lit Money charges 25% of the amount advanced for every six-month period the case stays open, calculated on the original advance and never compounded, plus a one-time $100 application fee and a $100 processing fee. A $2,500 advance repaid inside the first six months costs $825 in total — $625 in charges and $200 in fees.

What fees do you charge?

Two, and that is the complete list: a $100 application fee charged on your first advance only, and a $100 processing fee charged on each advance. Get Lit Money charges no closing fee, no document filing fee, no underwriting fee, no servicing fee, no wire fee and no broker fee. The only thing that grows with time is the published charge per six-month period, which the agreement calls a renewal fee.

What does non-recourse mean?

Non-recourse means the advance is repaid only out of a recovery in your case. If you do not recover anything, you owe nothing — Get Lit Money cannot pursue you, your wages, your bank account, your home or your credit for the money. The one exception is fraud or a breach of the agreement on your side.

Do you check my credit?

No. Get Lit Money does not run a credit check, and applying has no effect on your credit score. The decision is based on the strength of your case, not on your credit history, income or employment.

How fast do I get the money?

Most people are funded the same day they sign. Once you are approved and have signed the agreement, we send your funds by direct deposit. With many larger banks the money shows up right away; with others it can take a business day or two.

What if I lose my case?

You owe nothing. Every Get Lit Money advance is non-recourse, which means it is repaid only from a recovery — if your case does not produce one, the advance, the charges and the fees are all canceled and you keep the money. The one exception is fraud or a breach of the agreement on your side.

Why people need it

Why sexual abuse claims create a cash gap

Survivors frequently need therapy that insurance does not fully cover, and often need it long before any case resolves. Institutional defendants in these cases litigate hard and litigate slowly.

How long these cases take

Long. Institutional cases and claims brought under revival windows commonly run several years, and many are resolved through a global settlement process rather than individually.

What we need to review your case

Your attorney's name and firm
Nothing about the underlying events is required for an advance — your attorney provides what underwriting needs
Treatment records where you choose to provide them

You personally provide almost none of this. We request the file from your attorney’s office directly — chasing your own lawyer is not your job.

Every figure is the total repaid at settlement — the advance, plus 25% of the advance for each six-month period, plus fees. Charges are simple: each period is calculated on the original advance, never on a growing balance. Assumes a first advance ($100 application fee plus $100 processing fee). Fees never grow and are never paid out of pocket. The final column is the 2× cap: at 24 months the amount repaid on the advance stops and never moves again, however long the case runs.
