Our Role
We act as a credit broker, not a lender. We are not impartial and may act in our own commercial interests. We do not provide independent financial advice. Our role is to introduce you to lenders from our panel and help facilitate your finance application.
​
Our Services
We work with a panel of lenders to provide vehicle finance options to our customers. A list of these lenders is available upon request.
​
Commission
We do not charge you a fee for our credit broking services. However, we typically receive a commission from the lender or finance broker we introduce you to.
This commission may be: A fixed fee, A percentage of the loan amount, Not capped
Example: For a car priced at £18,999 with a £3,000 deposit, the amount borrowed would be £15,999. If we receive a 5% commission, our commission would be approximately £800.
The exact amount of commission varies depending on the lender and finance product. We will disclose the specific amount to you before you sign any agreement.
​
Important
The amount of commission we receive does not influence the interest rate or terms you are offered by the lender.
