NE civil litigation funding bonds.

A nonrecourse civil litigation funding company cannot do business in Nebraska until it registers with the Secretary of State, and the registration application is not complete without a $50,000 surety bond. Ours is $500 flat — set by our carrier’s rate book for this bond, and the price you see is the price at checkout.

About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Nebraska regulates litigation funding under the Nonrecourse Civil Litigation Act, Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-3301 to 25-3309. A civil litigation funding company is anyone who buys a contingent share of a represented consumer’s settlement, judgment, award or verdict — and under section 25-3307 none of them may engage in that business in Nebraska without first registering with the Secretary of State. The bond is one of the documents the registration application will not clear without.

The bond form the Secretary of State publishes binds you and your surety unto the State of Nebraska for and on behalf of injured parties in the sum of $50,000, conditioned on faithfully performing the duties and obligations of the nonrecourse civil litigation funding business. In practice that is the Act’s conduct and disclosure rules: the front-page dollar itemization and annual rate of return required by section 25-3303, the consumer’s five-business-day right to cancel, the section 25-3304 ban on paying or accepting referral fees from attorneys and medical providers, and the section 25-3305 limits on how long fees may run and how often they may compound.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety, and the surety’s aggregate liability across all claimants never exceeds the bond amount. The form runs from the date your registration issues to the following September 30, so the filing has to stay continuous for as long as you fund Nebraska consumers. We track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out.

Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-3307 (Nonrecourse Civil Litigation Act)Section 25-3307(2) requires a registration applicant to give the Secretary of State a surety bond or irrevocable letter of credit equal to double the amount of the largest funding in the past calendar year or fifty thousand dollars, whichever is greater. Fifty thousand is a floor, not a ceiling: a funder whose single largest prior-year funding exceeded half that figure has to post double the funding instead, so tell us the number and we will write the larger bond. The Secretary of State’s published bond form is pre-printed at $50,000 and runs to the following September 30, which is when every registration expires; section 25-3308 lets the Secretary of State set application and renewal fees by rule, and section 25-3309 governs issuance, refusal, suspension, temporary certificates and the annual data report. Registrations and the bond behind them are filed with the Licensing Division, 1201 N Street, Suite 120, Lincoln, NE 68508.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Nebraska civil litigation funding bond?The premium is $500 flat — the price our carrier’s rate book sets for this specific bond, identical for every funding company. The $50,000 amount comes from Neb. Rev. Stat. 25-3307 and is pre-printed on the Secretary of State’s bond form, so there is no quote process.

Do I pay the $50,000?No. You pay the flat premium. The $50,000 is the surety’s maximum aggregate liability to the state and to injured parties if you fail to perform the duties of the funding business — it is not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

How fast will I have the bond?Fixed-amount registration bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase — many funders finish the application and have the executed bond in the same sitting. At most, 1–2 business days.

Is there a credit check?The application includes a credit consent, but it authorizes a soft credit pull only — a soft inquiry that never affects your score. No hard inquiry ever runs on this bond, and credit informs approval, never the price.

Do I ever need more than a $50,000 bond?Yes, if you funded a large single case. Section 25-3307 asks for double the amount of your largest funding in the past calendar year or fifty thousand dollars, whichever is greater — so a company whose biggest Nebraska funding last year was above half that threshold posts double the funding instead. Tell us the figure and we will write the larger bond.
