"Roles" are a way to group different organisations in your transaction.
Examples of roles you may have are:
Buyer | All the organisations involved on the "buy-side" of the transaction |
Seller | All the organisations involved on the "sell-side" of the transaction |
Lender | All the organisations involved on the "lender" side of the transaction |
Borrower | All the organisations involved on the "borrower" side of the transaction |
Lawyers | All the lawyers on the transaction
✔️ You may instead include the lawyers in a different role. It's up to you! |
