“We are ecstatic to welcome Bob Rodi to the FranFund family. Throughout his career in the conventional side of this business, Bob was a true pioneer and has become instrumental to developing interfaces to the Fair Isaac liquid credit scoring system. When added to our long history in the rollover and SBA loans segment, FranFund is going to truly become the total financing package,” says Geoff Seiber, President and CEO of FranFund. “We’ll now be able to accomplish a wider variety of funding capabilities, which aligns with our mission of offering franchisors, franchisees and small business the most forward-thinking solutions.”

“I could not be more thrilled to help make FranFund the one-stop-shop in franchise funding. By combining the experience between Geoff and myself and adding developed interfaces and credit scoring proficiency, we truly are ahead of the game,” says Rodi. “These new programs will allow FranFund to leverage its already prolific business, bringing complete funding to the industry so that our clients never have to leave.”
