# How To Start

## Understanding the Funding Flow

Before creating a Funding Transaction, it’s important to understand how the new BuilderTek Funding Module is structured.

Every New Funding Transaction is created under a Program, and every Program is connected to an Account (Funder). The Funder Account stores the funding source, customer details, contacts, and debt-to-income information. A single account can contain multiple programs, and each program can be used across multiple funding transactions.

A Funding Transaction is the operational record used to manage funding activity. One transaction can receive multiple payments and can be allocated across multiple projects and expenses, giving complete visibility into how funds are received, distributed, and utilized throughout the project lifecycle.

## 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.buildertek.com/index-4/how-to-start.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.
