Do you have to pay for our services and do we receive any commission?

You do not have to pay us for our service. However, a funder or broker we work with will typically pay us for introducing you to them. Different funders/brokers pay us different amounts, but it will typically be based on a fixed percentage of the amount borrowed. For your reassurance, we are not able to change the interest rate you pay in order to receive more commission from a particular broker or funder. Although rates and commissions may vary between our finance partners, our aim is always to secure finance from them which is appropriate to your circumstances.
