About The Funded Method

The Funded Method is an online training company for people who want to become alternative business funding brokers, and for new brokers in their first year who want to fund deals consistently instead of occasionally.

Alternative business funding is the non-bank side of small business capital: merchant cash advances, term loans, lines of credit, equipment financing, SBA programs, and commercial real estate. A broker packages a business owner’s file, matches it to the right funder, and is paid by the funder when the deal funds. The Funded Method teaches that craft the way it actually works in 2026, with AI-native workflows replacing the cold-calling, spreadsheet-heavy playbook of a decade ago.

Aspiring brokers, career switchers moving into finance, independent 1099 sales reps ready to run their own desk, and first-year brokers who have funded a deal or two and want a repeatable system.

It is not built for established brokerages already running seven-figure desks. Everything starts at the beginning on purpose: no finance degree assumed, no existing lender relationships assumed, no sales background assumed.

The curriculum follows the sequence a working broker actually needs:

• The lender map. Every funder has a buy box. Learn to match any deal to the right category in about 60 seconds.
• Reading a deal in 90 seconds. What an underwriter sees in a bank statement, and how to see it first.
• The 90-day framework. The week-by-week path from zero to a first funded deal.
• The AI stack. The modern workflow that lets one operator run a desk that used to take a team.
• The seven mistakes. The errors that cost new brokers six figures, and how to skip them.
• After the first deal. Renewals, referrals, and turning one funded file into a business.

• The 2026 Broker Stack (free): the interactive report that covers the whole sequence above, with live tools like the Buy Box Matcher. Read it here.
• Underwriting in 60 Seconds ($47): learn to read a bank statement the way a funder does. Details.
• The Submission Vault ($297): 75+ templates, scripts, and checklists packaged into 8 interactive deal tools. Details.
• The Accelerator ($2,997, application required): a 12-week live cohort, the operating manual for a modern funding brokerage. Details.

The Funded Method was built by an operator who spent more than five years running operations at a seven-figure alternative business funding brokerage: reading files, placing deals across the lender ecosystem, and watching new brokers succeed and fail for the same few reasons. The material is the system that worked, documented in public as it is taught.

The Funded Method is an education company. We are not a lender, a funder, or a financial advisor, and we do not broker deals for students. Nothing we publish is a guarantee of income or results; outcomes depend on the work you put in and the market you work in.
