-
- CONTRACT HIRE, FINANCE LEASE, HIRE PURCHASE, OPERATING LEASE, PERSONAL CONTRACT HIRE, PERSONAL CONTRACT PURCHASE (PCP)
We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not an independent financial advisor; we will provide details of products available. We will review suitable finance products, subject to your personal circumstances, though you are not obliged to take our recommendation.
Our panel of Lenders, who may be able to finance your purchase are;
-
- Halo Corporate Finance Ltd - Rate for Risk & Fixed Rate / % of Balance Financed Commission Model & Flat
£s of Advance Commission Model

You are not obliged to agree with our recommendations or to make any purchase of a finance product. You may obtain free, unbiased guidance from the Money Advice Service at www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk or Your Impartial Guide to Car Finance at www.financingyourcar.org.uk.
You will make no payment to us for the introduction to our panel of lenders.
If you purchase a new vehicle, typically we may receive a commission from the lender if you decide to enter into an agreement with them.
If you purchase a used vehicle, typically we will receive a commission from the lender if you decide to enter into an agreement with them.
You may ask us for details of such payments by emailing lee.willetts@midlandstruckvan.com, which we will tell you (in good time before the agreement is executed) the amount of any commission we will earn from the lender.
Whichever lender we introduce you to, we will typically receive commission from them (either a fixed fee or a fixed percentage of the amount you borrow). For your reassurance, all of the lenders we work with could pay commission at different rates, but the commission we receive does not influence the interest rate you will pay. Our aim is to secure finance for you at the lowest interest rate you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed.
Commission Arrangements
% of Balance Financed Commission Model
The Dealer will be paid a commission for introducing you to the lender. This will be a percentage of the amount that you borrow. This means the more you borrow the more the Dealer is paid. The commission will be the same no matter the interest rate that you pay.
Flat £s Fee Commission Model
The Dealer will be paid a commission for introducing you to the lender. This will be a flat fee amount. This means the commission will be the same no matter how much you borrow or the interest rate that you pay.

Commission Disclosure Statement
Our approach is to introduce you firrst to the manufacturer's lender, Mercedes-Benz Financial Services, linked to the franchise offering you the vehicle. They will usually offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions ( but we do not guarantee they do). If they are unable to offer finance, we then seek to introduce you to someone else on our panel. We will usually receive a commission for your introduction. This will be either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you choose.
Mercedes-Benz Financial Services may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement. You will not pay it to us. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will tell you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receiving this commission. The exact amount of commission will be confirmed before you sign your finance agreement.
All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
