# How to Borrow from Maple: Borrower Guide

Maple is the largest onchain asset management platform, offering institutional borrowers access to secured, overcollateralised credit facilities backed by digital assets. Lending opportunities are tailored to meet diverse liquidity needs, risk appetites, and return expectations and facilitated through Maple’s technology to provide real time monitoring and transparency.

Borrowers choose Maple for the institutional-grade, white-glove service, competitive rates, and flexible terms. Loans are originated by the Maple team and managed by borrowers in the Borrower Hub. To date, Maple has facilitated over $20B in loans across 100+ borrowers, with an average funding time of 24 hours.

## Becoming a borrower

You start the onboarding by contacting us:

1. Submit the [contact form on the Maple website](https://maple.finance/#contact). A member of the Maple team will reach out.
2. Complete KYC / KYB and supply the required entity documentation.
3. Maple verifies the details and performs a credit review.
4. Upon passing verification, sign the master lending agreement and agree to loan terms.
5. Maple provisions your account in the Hub: your Organization, Legal Entity, and User.
6. You receive an email invite to log in. From there, you can invite your team and start transacting.

Loans are usually processed within 24 hours once you have been onboarded. For any questions on onboarding or required documentation, please talk to your Maple contact.

## 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.maple.finance/maple-for-borrowers/introduction.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.
