What products we offer
If you are seeking finance to purchase or lease your vehicle we are able to introduce you to one of our partner finance providers/lenders.
As a broker, and not a lender we work with multiple funders, but we do not offer a whole of market financial solution and therefore we cannot offer impartial advice and therefore there may be a better product available to you elsewhere in the open market and you should consider shopping around for the best deal for your needs.
The lenders we work with offer different products to different types of customers and as such interest rates and terms vary between lenders. Our lenders can offer a number of products including, but not limited to Hire Purchase, Finance Lease, Lease Purchase and Contract Hire.

Please ask us for a full panel of current lenders available at the time of your enquiry, and if you have a preferred choice of lender to use, we will try to accommodate this request.
Commission arrangements and interest rates
Different lenders have different methods for paying commissions based on a number of factors, such as whether you are entering into a regulated or unregulated agreement, the length of the agreement, the amount borrowed, the age of the vehicle, the type of finance product selected or your credit score.
Typically a lender will pay a percentage of the loan amount to us as a broker, or a fixed fee. Where this is not the case then the commission we receive from the lender impacts the amount you pay.
Before you enter into an agreement, and in good time we will inform you of the amount of commission we will receive.
