How to Select a Buyer of Structured Settlement Payments

Selecting a great buyer of structured settlement payments is crucial when trying to secure the highest payout possible.

There are hundreds of brokers who will help you locate funding sources as well as a handful of major funding companies that will buy settlement payments directly.

Consult multiple companies and compare quotes - you'll get a feel for the market and have a much better chance of choosing a good buyer of structured settlement payments.

Whether you choose a broker or a funding company to buy your settlement payments, consider the following:

  • Check out the company’s history.

  • How long has it been in existence?

  • Is there a listing of names of the company manager or owners?

  • What are their credentials?

  • Are they listed with the Better Business Bureau?

  • Do they list verifiable testimonials from customers or clients?

  • Do they provide a substantial listing of Frequently Asked Questions that show an in depth knowledge of the business of being a buyer of structured settlements?

  • Do they indicate that it may be in your best interest to only sell a partial amount of your settlement and not the entire amount?

  • Do they list a dollar amount regarding the volume of cases they have handled?

  • Do you feel comfortable that no one is rushing you to make a hasty decision?

  • Do they have a process to provide free quotes?

Be aware that legislation in 39 states permits the assignment (selling) of structured settlement payments only after a judge’s approval. Therefore, you will need your own lawyer to review the documentation provided by the buyer of structured settlement payments you select.

The following are several companies which meet some of the above criteria; however, note that this listing is not an endorsement nor a recommendation of their services. You will need to conduct your own selection process and choose the best company for your needs.
