Our Services

We’re a vehicle finance broker who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. We’re not a funder or a lender. We don’t provide independent financial advice but offer the service of providing information about the various finance products which are available to you to fund your vehicle from our carefully selected panel of funders. We’ll source the vehicle on your behalf which will be the subject of your finance agreement from our preferred selection of main dealers. We’ll also advise you of ancillary products which may be of interest to you from our other suppliers, including insurance to protect any potential shortfall in the event that your vehicle is declared a total loss, cover for minor repairs, alloy wheel refurbishment and loss of keys, and for business users, various fleet management tools.

We are a credit broker.  We are not a funder or lender.

Commission

We’re required by the Financial Conduct Authority to let you know about the existence of commission, which is our main source of income and enables us to run our business and provide our services to you. We have a panel of funders who will pay us a commission for introducing you to them if you decide to use our services. They allow us discretion, within set parameters to set the amount of the commission that we will receive, and this will have a direct impact on the amount that you pay.  If you decide to purchase an ancillary product including insurance, we will receive commission from the product provider. We may also receive a commission from the dealer that we use to supply your vehicle. You may have the right to ask us the amount of commission that we will receive from your transaction. For further details please see the Commission Disclosure Policy on our website.
