# Getting started

New borrowers on obligate.com need to create an account and go through an onboarding process. The account needs to be verified by a member of the obligate.com team. Should any information be missing, a member will reach out to the borrower directly to to discuss next steps. Borrowers who have already gone through the onboarding process can log in into their account.&#x20;

Here is a step by step guide for the onboarding process:

1. Enter your email address and create your account password
2. Confirm your email&#x20;
3. Select if you want to invest or borrow on obligate.com
4. Complete the KYC & KYB process with our provider Sumsub
5. Invite any additional members to your company account and let us know if all invited members are listed in your company registration excerpt or in the articles association. This lets us know if we need to reach out to an authorized representative of your company to confirm your member's signing authorization.&#x20;

That's it on your end, your account is now setup, but still needs to be verified by us and Sumsub. You will receive an email once your account has passed all verifications.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.obligate.com/obligate-for-borrowers/getting-started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
