Long time settlement industry member, Rhonda Bentzen, recently announced that she has formed a new firm, Bentzen Funding Solutions. Her new entity will continue to specialize in factoring, but will also provide a unique twist in that it will have a sub-speciality in "cross border" settlement between Canadian and US interests. Given her long back ground in both structured settlements and factoring, as well as her work in both Canada and the US, I'd suspect Rhonda will be quite successful in her new venture.

Further proof of the continued growth of factoring firms, specialization and ties between standard structures and needs for liquidity among annuitants.
