PromiseOne: using the figures

PromiseOne figures form a map of holdings. 779 loans show where PromiseOne stands as holder. The 12.4% cancellation floor shows how PromiseOne approvals fared. It forecasts no PromiseOne request. A PromiseOne project has demand and cost. A PromiseOne borrower should name which of the 779 loans look like it. Differences matter to PromiseOne as much as likenesses. 779 loans, plainly told, let PromiseOne judge the study. A floor of 12.4% at PromiseOne describes the past, not the future.

PromiseOne offers just 223 unplaced loans for an unnamed type. PromiseOne's study makes the case. PromiseOne holds 247 loans in Georgia. Elsewhere, PromiseOne holdings need a reason. At PromiseOne, a cancellation floor of 12.4% means approval is not funding. The PromiseOne study should allow for delay.

SBA loans held by PromiseOne Bank

SBA guarantees these loans; the lender does not. The lender's name and every figure come from the U.S. Small Business Administration's public 7(a) and 504 FOIA file (data.sba.gov).

7(a) lender is the bank or lender the loan is currently assigned to (or last held it), as SBA records it; 504 lender is the Certified Development Company (CDC). 504 third-party (first-lien) lenders are free text with no identifier and are not credited.

Cancellation and charge-off

Cancelled after approval, FY2017 to FY2024 approvals (a floor)12.4%
The same, counting loans still undisbursed as cancelled (a ceiling)12.4%
Charged off to date, FY2017 to FY2021 disbursed loans (a floor)1.7%

Loans in that cohort466

Both rates are floors. SBA withholds the status of open loans, so a loan counts as charged off only once SBA reports it; a rate needs at least 30 loans in its cohort and is otherwise not reported.
