Payroll Protection Program: Next Steps
You've submitted your PPP application and documents, but you're not done yet.
You may be called upon for additional documentation or clarification and a prompt reply may be the difference between getting funded or being left out.
Plan Certain can track files submitted through Lendio, upon request, by using the form below to link your file. Be sure to check out PPP Next Steps and get ahead of the pack.
Want Us to Track Your File?
Disclosure: We have no financial interest in Lendio, nor receive compensation from them. We just know they’re working hard to fund small businesses, like yours. Not sure who Lendio is or if you qualify? Check out their video.
If you landed on this page, chances are you were referred by one of our attorneys, CPAs or insurance group partners. Complete the form below to attach our “priority” flag to your file and connect it to our designated Funding Manager at Lendio. In addition to any automated emails sent by Lendio, our Funding Manager will alert us when your file is sent to the SBA queue. If there are any issues along the way, we can reach out to you in this time sensitive process. This is an optional step if you want one more person looking out for your PPP loan success.

1. Document Quality Check
Lendio will check your documents and files for accuracy and errors before moving into the lending queue. Be sure to check your spam or junk folder, just in case. If you link your file above, Plan Certain will coordinate with our Funding Manager and help by contacting you should there be an error in your file and notify you of the file status.
2. SBA Queue
Once your file passes a full quality check, it is moved within Lendio to the SBA Funding Queue for lender placement with one of the 300 lenders participating on the Lendio platform. Plan Certain will be alerted by our Funding Manager when your file goes into the queue, if you choose to link your application above.
3. Assign Lender &
Funds Guarantee
Your assigned lender requests an authorization and funding guarantee using the SBA E-trans system. This reserves your funds. If the file is rejected by the SBA (rare), it usually means that another lender received your guarantee authorization through your separate application. Plan Certain linked files are alerted at this stage.
4. Lender Contact & Closing
After your lender receives your guarantee authorization and reservation of funds from the SBA, they will contact you directly to begin the process of closing and funding your PPP loan. You will need to provide a voided check or banking information at this stage.
5. Funding & Forgiveness
Your Lender has 10 business days to fund the loan after SBA approval. As the borrower, you have eight weeks to spend the PPP Loan funds and qualify for forgiveness by bringing payroll and jobs back to pre-crisis levels. If done, borrowers should request loan forgiveness through your lender. Be sure to keep accurate records for verification of how funds are spent.
6. Congratulations
You successfully navigated the PPP funding and forgiveness process, and hopefully the worst of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
