It depends on the case and, more than anything, on how quickly your attorney's office provides the information the funding company needs. No responsible funder promises a specific turnaround before seeing the file.
What the timeline actually depends on
Three things, roughly in order of impact. How fast your attorney's office sends the case documents. How complex the claim is. And whether anything unexpected turns up — an undisclosed prior advance, a lien nobody mentioned, a coverage question.
The first one dominates. A funding company can't evaluate a claim it hasn't seen, and most of what it needs lives in your attorney's file rather than with you.
What you can do to move it along
Tell your attorney's office that you've applied and ask them to expect the request. A paralegal who knows it's coming handles it faster than one who finds it in a stack on Monday.
Disclose any prior advances up front. Discovering one late is the single most common reason a request stalls after it looked ready.
Be cautious about speed promises
Advertising that guarantees funding within a fixed number of hours is making a promise about someone else's law office. Treat it the way you'd treat any guarantee that depends on a third party.
Ask instead what the company needs, who they need it from, and what typically holds things up. Those answers are more useful than a number.
