The lender we introduce you to, we will typically receive commission from them. This will
either be a fixed fee or a percentage of the amount you borrow. The lenders we work with
may pay commission at different rates however the amount of commission that we receive from a lender does not have an effect on the amount that you pay to the lender under your
credit agreement.
The FCA expects regulated firms to ensure that customers are aware of the existence and
amount of any commission, before the credit agreement is entered into, if any of the
following apply:
● from the customer’s perspective, the commission could have unduly influenced the
broker into recommending or offering a particular product
● knowing about the existence or amount of the commission would materially impact
the customer’s decision in entering the credit agreement
● the customer has formally requested details of the commission.
What are we required to disclose?
We are required to disclose the existence of commission and upon request the amount of
commission we receive for the introduction of a Credit agreement.

they will inform you about any credit search they plan to undertake on your personal
information.
