Leveraging his extensive knowledge of borrower behavior profiles, FICO® scoring metrics, and lender underwriting requirements, he developed a process that could “optimize” a consumer’s credit profile and borrower behaviors to improve their “fundability.” Fundability Optimization™ increases the amounts and frequency of business loans and lines of credit approvals. He founded GetFundable.com to deliver this revolutionary technology to real estate and business entrepreneurs nationwide. Merrill has helped thousands of borrowers become more FUNDABLE and help them access the capital they need to grow their businesses and fulfill their financial dreams. In 2016 he and his executive team met with FICO® CEO Will Lansing to review the impact his optimization technology was having on borrower fundability. As a result of that meeting, Merrill was authorized to meet with the personal and business FICO® score development teams. After signing an NDA, Merrill was able to ask the FICO® developers 100 optimization questions to better his ability to help borrowers accomplish their funding goals. What he shares in his presentations and web classes will radically transform what you believe about funding and your ability to get the funding you need to accomplish YOUR funding goals.
