PPP Forgiveness Funnel

The table below is a comprehensive look at Forgiveness applications as they make their way from the borrower, to lenders, to the SBA and back, through the Numerated platform.

Editor’s Note: Since our Feb. 22 PPP Forgiveness Data Report, thousands of new PPP loans have been added to the Numerated platform to be processed for Forgiveness.

Takeaways

  • With new, simplified Forgiveness forms now widely available, borrowers have considerably picked up the pace when it comes to starting and submitting their PPP Forgiveness applications. As of today, a full 50 percent of all borrowers have begun their application on the Numerated platform.
  • Lenders also increased the rate at which they submit borrowers’ applications to the SBA, accelerating their pace by 9 percent.
  • With simplified Forgiveness making borrowers with loans up to $150,000 eligible for Form 3508S (vs borrowers with up to $50,000 loans prior to simplified Forgiveness), the form is the overwhelming favorite for borrowers. Over the last week, 91 percent of borrowers that started a loan on the Numerated platform leveraged Form 3508S.
  • Borrowers applying for partial forgiveness due to EIDL Advances are down by nearly 40 percent. The 29 percent of borrowers who applied for partial Forgiveness due to their EIDL Advances is the lowest percentage recorded since our Feb. 22 report.
