No. On advisory transactions, bizbritain accepts zero introducer commission, procuration fees or arrangement income from lenders. We're paid by you, not by lenders, so we recommend the lender that's right for your deal, not the one that pays us most.
When a lender adds a fee to your loan to fund a broker's commission, you pay interest on that fee for the whole term. The stated rate then understates the true cost. We don't take part in that model.
We decline it, and ask the lender to pass the equivalent saving to you instead, disclosed in writing before you sign.
Our fee schedule doesn't change with the lender we recommend, so our advice isn't swayed by who pays more. See How much does bizbritain charge for a business growth loan?.
The Start Up Loans scheme makes a fixed payment for each completed loan. It's the same on every loan, and the borrower pays nothing for it. That's why our site-wide disclosure says we may receive a fee for introducing customers.
