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: As PPP Originations wind down and lenders turn their focus towards Forgiveness, more and more are choosing to make this process easier for their borrowers by leveraging the Numerated platform. As a result, more than 80,000 new PPP loans have been added to our platform to be processed for Forgiveness. While new loans affect our funnel percentages, week-over-week percentages are based on raw totals and remain consistent with each report.
