Free Independant Reviews

I pride myself on playing ” with a straight bat” i.e. being open, honest and transparent. I believe this is respected and everyone who deals with me knows that I take a balanced view and offer clients free assessments and options.
My philosophy is simple, let the client choose which option they want but with some informed knowledge to enable to make the best judgmental decision.
If the client talks to their bank about a product, the bank will only sell their own products to them. I look at at all available solutions because I offer no products of my own. I can therefore be neutral in the decision-making process.
Each provider offers an introductory fee which I receive on completed deals, be it loans, invoice discounting, stock finance etc which is where I create my income.
If the client decides not to progress with any soloution intoduced by me then their cost is NIL in monetary terms – just the time they’ve spent exploring with me.
My business model is win some, lose some. But being in this area attracts many financial providers wanting me to include their solutions in my portfolio, so I have many options available.
So the client can explore the market, secretly, and at no cost and have a range of options offered which can then be either explored or ignored – does this sound a good idea?
