One of the first businesses to grow and emerge within the working capital market during the recession, Fora Financial has established a competitive position in the marketplace, as well as a storied legacy. It all started with two college roommates who had an innate passion for small business. After graduating from Indiana University, both Jared Feldman and Dan Smith went their separate ways – Jared as an underwriter and Dan as a sales consultant. Then, the economic recession hit. Dan knew that the small businesses of America drove the U.S. economy and would need assistance to survive the default times ahead. And with both Dan and Jared coming from a long line of successful entrepreneurs and growing up immersed in the small business culture, they felt compelled to help. Prompted by Dan’s vision, they combined their financial savvy and small business knowledge to start Fora Financial in June of 2008, when the economic world felt like it was coming to an end. Over the next five years, Dan and Jared worked tirelessly to build their staff and client base from the ground up. Continually doubling their staff and revenue almost every year since its inception, Fora Financial has continued to develop transparent relationships with our clients and partners and provide them with custom, innovative funding solutions. As of our five-year anniversary in June 2013, Fora Financial has funded over 8,000 individual transactions with over 4,500 unique customers. The company has also funded more than $199 million in working capital for small businesses since its inception. Fora, meaning “marketplace” and “forum” in Latin, aligns with our mission to foster and support the small business industry. The rebrand also created efficiencies and consistencies to better serve our customers and partners. Today, Fora Financial continues to remain a competitive leader with one of the most extensive offerings and services in the small business industry. We remain dedicated to developing new, innovative ways to serve companies in an ever-changing financial market.

FundingShield provides the residential mortgage industry`s highest level of protection in the funding process to close newly origination mortgage loans. We protect against loss of funds due to inaccurate and/or insufficient documentation, diversionary wire practices or parties closing in excess of their coverage limits from closing agents or attorneys which could jeopardize closing protection letter coverage. FundingShield provides monitoring at the transaction level, not by assigning risk tolerance or rating levels to parties but by active monitoring of its clients closings and inspection of the necessary documentation to make an assurance of a valid CPL. We may use exclusionary lists but we do not rely on looking at outdated exclusionary lists to approve a transaction like the majority of the industry. FundingShield is your single destination to quickly and efficiently access sources to detect fraud risk in closing protection letters (CPLs) and to validate your closing agents compliance with state license requirements verifying these critical details at the transaction level We look at each transaction to confirm that: –The parties to the closing are properly licensed and/or authorized including an attorney bar status verification –The documents have name, legal entity and other data matches vital to ensure coverage –The correct state forms are being used –The closing party is within its issuance limits –That sufficient insurance in type/form and amounts are in place (crimes policies, E&O or other coverages that may be needed to afford protections and states has different requirements) –The bank account where funds are to be transferred match our existing database as to account name and title Regulatory bodies such as the OCC and CFPB are placing extremely high standards on Third Party Service Provider Due Diligence –we believe mitigating risk associated to an organizations third parties exposure should be done at the time of each transaction
