Broker, Dealership or Direct - What’s the Difference?
In UK car leasing, a broker (like Let’s Talk Leasing) is the middleman who sources and compares leasing deals on your behalf from multiple funders, but doesn’t lend the money themselves.
A lender (also called a funder) is the regulated finance company that actually owns the vehicle and provides the credit agreement - examples include Alphabet, Novuna, and ALD Automotive, who are our 3 regulated lenders.
A dealer is tied to a specific manufacturer or forecourt and typically only offers finance through that brand’s own funding arm, meaning less choice than a broker can provide.
In short, brokers give you access to many lenders’ deals in one place, lenders fund the vehicle and dealers sell directly but with a narrower panel of finance options.
