Two questions:
1 - When do these background checks take place? When you get admitted? Or only once you decide to matriculate/ pay your deposit?
2 - Two of the 3 employers on my resume have gone belly up, so… no HR department to call and verity info (and also I had to estimate/ make an educated guess in some sections of my application because I had nobody to verify them with). Should I be concerned? How will they go about checking this stuff?

The background for Fuqua happens once you are admitted. So if you pay a deposit and they then find out you lied through the background check, you're out your deposit. Them's the breaks.
The fact that two companies went bust shouldn't be the end of the world. The analysts running the checks understand that in the current climate, such things happen. As long as you are open and up-front on this, there shouldn't be an issue. Just answer their questions, fill everything out that they ask for, and they'll take it from there. If they have questions they'll call you. The fact that you estimated things are a bit more iffy but you have an explanation for it. Unless you made some crazy claims or made up stories, you should be able to explain it to the analysts in case they ask.

so what if you have a very pure performance driven income stream -- trading for me or sales for other people -- and you may not necessarily have a salary? since i have a WIDE standard deviation in my income as a trader i went ahead and put my 'salary' (we dont have actual salary at work) as a stable number i was able to pull in year after year and what i budgeted my yearly expenses off of and then had an upward sloping 'bonus' -- becaus i thought putting a massive number for 08 when i began and then a smaller number for the past couple years would look odd haha. also if your firm has a flat structre and isnt big on titles but your experience/activiies through mentoring add up to a senior role and your supervisor gave you the 'OK' for that title (despite not having official titles), that is going to be fine as long as they can confirm that with your supervisor?

I assume that we provide a phone number/contact point at your company for Kroll to use. That could be the HR department, or if you don' t have an HR department, someone that handles that type of work at your company. You'll probably just want to make sure that that person, as well as your supervisor and your recommenders, will confirm the title and salary you put on your apps.
I haven't gone through the check yet, so this is mainly speculation. But I'm in a similar position and this is my thinking.
