Over 25 years ago, Merrill Chandler—a personal and business credit pioneer and co-founder of Lexington Law Firm—became dissatisfied with the ineffective results his clients were getting from credit repair.

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 borrower behavior AND improve a borrower’s “fundability.”

He and his partners founded The Fundability Movement and GetFundable.com to deliver this revolutionary technology to real estate investors, business owners, and entrepreneurs nationwide.

Merrill has helped thousands of borrowers become more FUNDABLE and helped them access the capital they need to fulfill their financial dreams.
