Information about us and the service we provide
G-Force is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. G-Force is a broker and not a lender. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is the independent regulator of financial services and consumer credit firms.
Your Finance Options.
G-Force can introduce you to a selected group of lenders who may be able to help you finance your vehicle. This group of lenders provides us with a range of products which may be suitable for your needs.
G-Force are not Independent Financial Advisors and any introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice. If at any point you do not wish us to continue to find a suitable lender for your needs, then please contact us.
- How we are paid.
We do not charge fees for our finance related services. We will receive payment from the finance lender for introducing you to them.
You don’t have to pay us for our service, but a funder or broker we work with will pay us for introducing you to them. Different funders/brokers may pay us different amounts but it will typically be based on a fixed percentage of the amount borrowed. This percentage may vary according to different factors, for example: the amount of credit; the age or type of vehicle; the type of finance product; or the funder’s assessment of the risk of lending. 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. If we are successful in obtaining an offer of finance for you and you would like to know the amount (or likely amount) we would receive if you decided to go ahead with the agreement and how that amount has been calculated, please contact us using the details above.
