Enter borrower information

Whether you choose a borrower from the existing list or add a new borrower, Backshop takes you to the Borrower Information page.

1. Start with required information: borrower name and ownership percent. If you choose from the list, borrower name will already be filled in.

The information in the bottom section applies to the borrower. The information in the top section is unique to the borrower’s role with this specific note.

Enter as much information as you like. You can always return to this form.

2. Click the Update button at the top or bottom of the borrower information module.

Add as many borrowers as you need to complete the note-level borrowership. That is, to account for 100 percent of the note.

To make one of your note-level borrowers a parent with one or more child borrowers:

Click the borrower’s name.

2. Click Update.
