# Loan out settings

## Overview

Your company has the option to require workers who are a technically a loan-out company to upload their *Article of Incorporation* or *Certificate of Incorporation* (AOI/COI) during onboarding. These documents are corporate charters that include the business name and location, and establishes the existence of the loan-out corporation as a legal entity.

Whether or not you require an AOI/COI, all loan outs will need to attest to the fact that they, as the loan-out worker, are authorized to work in the US to complete the onboarding process.

If you update the loan out settings, the changes wont affect workers who’ve already been onboarded. It will only affect new workers and those not yet fully onboarded.

If you require loan outs to upload their AOI/COI, you’ll be able to view the documents by navigating to the project they’re part of, and then going to the project’s *People* dashboard.

If your company runs Canada projects, US-based loan-out workers will be prompted to provide their 15-character Canada Business Number (CBN) during onboarding. This is required for CRA filings. Note: the CBN prompt may appear even on non-Canada projects if your loan-out company is associated with Canada work locations on any project. See [Canada Business Number (CBN) for US-Based Loan Out Workers](/v1/docs/canada-business-number-cbn-for-us-based-loan-out-workers) for details.
