Do you charge for a Funding Strategy Review?
No. The initial fifteen-minute review is complimentary and carries no obligation. It exists so a client, and their adviser, can make an informed decision before any application is made.
Do you work directly with professional advisers?
Yes. The majority of our work is introduced by accountants, solicitors, planning consultants and auction houses. The introducing adviser is kept sighted at each stage and never displaced from the client relationship.
Are you regulated?
DGL Commercial Finance specialises in commercial finance, which sits outside the FCA's consumer regulatory perimeter. Where a transaction requires regulated advice, we work alongside firms that hold the appropriate permissions and disclose the arrangement in writing.
How is DGL paid?
In most cases DGL is remunerated by the lender on completion, at market-standard rates. Any client fee is agreed in writing before work begins, and any lender fee is disclosed to the client and their introducing adviser in the same terms letter.
