The Financial Conduct Authority is the independent watchdog that regulates financial services. Use this information to decide if our services are right for you. All finance products are optional.
Finance Products
We are a credit broker and not a lender. To assist you with your vehicle purchase, we can introduce you to two lenders (and their finance products), both of whom we have a pre-existing relationship with (we do not source the whole market). In the event both lenders choose not to provide credit, we will refer you to a broker to attempt to source credit for you. Note however, the available terms from this broker may well be inferior to the two lenders we initially introduced you to.
We act as an agent on the lenders behalf when making this introduction. We are not an independent financial advisor and therefore, no advice or recommendation will be made. You must decide whether the finance product you choose is right for you.
We do not charge you a fee for this introduction, but we will receive a commission from the lenders we work with (either a fixed fee or a fixed percentage of the amount you borrow). The lenders we work with could pay commission at different rates. Some lenders may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. For regulated agreements under the Consumer Credit Act 1974, if you would like more information on the commission payable prior to you entering into the agreement, please email your request to the email shown below within the section for contact details. For your reassurance, the amount of commission we receive from a lender does not have an effect on the amount that you pay to that lender under your credit agreement. The lender will always set this.
Credit Searches
By providing us with your personal details, you will be giving us authority to submit credit applications on your behalf to our credit providers, each of which may record a search on your credit file. For your reassurance, we will use a maximum of four credit providers and therefore, no more than four credit searches will be registered.
Fees
We do not charge you a fee for any of the financial services we offer.
