What Is Fund My Deductible?

Updated

Fund My Deductible (FMD) is a platform that contractors use to fund and collect insurance deductibles from homeowners, rather than financing them. According to the site, it is a three-step, roughly five-minute setup that gives contractors and their sales teams a way to register, sign up customers on a custom payment plan, and then track the resulting income through contractor and salesman portals. It is aimed at contractors who lose deals when a homeowner cannot pay the deductible up front.

What problem it solves

When a homeowner files an insurance claim, the deductible is the portion they owe before coverage applies. If the homeowner does not have that cash on hand, the job can stall or go to a competitor. FMD's pitch is that instead of the contractor financing the deductible, the platform handles funding it, so the deal can move forward.

The site frames this as "NEVER LOSE ANOTHER DEAL" and claims contractors close "2x more deals" after switching. Treat those as the company's own marketing claims, not independently verified figures.

How the process works

The site describes a simple three-step flow:

  1. Register as a contractor — go to fundmydeductible.com, set up your company, and register your sales team.
  2. Sign up your customers — set up a custom payment plan, receive an executed funding agreement, and keep all parties informed.
  3. Receive and track income — use the contractor and salesman portals to monitor income and track performance.

The stated setup time is about five minutes, and the site lists a free trial as the entry point.

Who it is for

  • Contractors in insurance-driven trades (roofing is the example that appears in the site's press mentions) who want to stop turning away jobs over deductibles.
  • Sales teams that need their own portal to track what they close.
  • Homeowners indirectly, as the party signing the payment plan and funding agreement.

What to check before signing up

The site does not publish pricing beyond the free trial, so confirm current cost, contract terms, and any state-specific rules on collecting deductibles directly with FMD. Deductible collection is regulated differently across states, and the site's own framing ties the product to staying compliant — so verify the requirements for your market before relying on it.
