Our data
ClearValue Lending has processed tens of thousands of real financing applications. When we cite our own funnel or application figures anywhere on this site, they come from the dataset described on this page — aggregate counts only, never individual applicant data.
What this dataset is
These figures come from ClearValue Lending's own application records — real visitors who started a financing application through our platform, covering signups from February 2025 through August 2026. This is operational data we generated by running the platform, not a third-party survey or a purchased list.
We report it in aggregate — counts and stage-by-stage funnel totals — the same way a company discloses a customer count or a completion rate. No individual applicant's name, contact information, or financial details is published here or anywhere else on this site.
The application funnel, stage by stage
Each stage is a strict subset of the one before it — every submitted application also appears in "started."
23,347
Applications started
Every record where a visitor began a financing application.
22,944
Contact captured
Reached the point of providing name + contact info.
10,887
Business profile completed
Provided business details sufficient to route to a lender partner.
2,408
Submitted to a lender partner
Reached formal submission into our lender-partner network.
How it's compiled
The underlying records live in ClearValue's own application database, exported and stored securely outside any public system. We count rows — applications started, contact records captured, business profiles completed, and formal submissions to our lender-partner network — and publish only the resulting totals.
We do not extrapolate, project, or round these figures up. Where we cite a number derived from this dataset elsewhere on the site, it is scored against the same standard as every other factual claim we publish — see our methodology.
Read this before citing this data
What this data doesn't tell you.
- It's ClearValue's own applicant pool, not the broader small-business lending market — people who found and used our platform during this window, not a representative sample of all borrowers.
- Most applications don't reach submission. Only 2,408 of the 23,347 who started reached formal submission to a lender partner — the gap reflects visitors who left the funnel at any stage, not a rejection rate.
- It's a snapshot of a specific period (February 2025–August 2026). Underwriting criteria, our lender-partner panel, and market rates have moved since, and this dataset does not update in real time.
- It measures funnel activity, not outcomes. We track how far an application progressed, not final approval or funded-amount figures.
