The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is the independent regulator of financial services. A requirement by the FCA is for us to provide you with an Initial Disclosure Document to help you decide if our services are right for you. This document provides you with information about Vavoom Vehicle Management Limited, the products we offer, the services we will provide, what we charge for our services, who regulates us, what to do if you have a complaint, and details about the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
We will seek your assistance in assessing your needs and we may require relevant information about your objectives and personal circumstances to enable us to identify the best possible solutions applicable to you. We will then provide you with details of either comparable firms who are most appropriate to your funding requirements, or general information relating to finance products.
The finance products
As a Financial Conduct Authority regulated credit broker, we may introduce you to a range of finance lenders who may be able to help you finance your vehicle and provide other products/services, such as vehicle maintenance and servicing packages.
We will only offer products from a carefully selected panel of finance lenders. We will not refer you outside of this panel without your consent. You can ask us for a list of the suppliers who provide our finance and insurance products. All the products we offer are optional.
We will receive a commission or other benefits from one of our finance lenders should you decide to enter into an agreement with them as a result of our introduction or, from another credit broker to whom we refer you should we be unable to arrange funding for you. This is reflected in the monthly lease rate that you pay for your vehicle. The amount of commission received may vary depending on the funder selected, the terms of the funding and other criteria, such as achieving high levels of customer service. Some lenders may also pay us an additional commission based on business volumes. If you would like more information regard to the disclosure of commissions, please e-mail sales@vavoomleasing.com
