Creative Finance Consultants — LHA Holdings Ltd  ·  Last updated: May 2025

By submitting an enquiry through this website or engaging Creative Finance Consultants, you agree to these terms. Please read them carefully. If you have any questions, contact us at project_review@creativefinanceconsultants.com before proceeding.

Terms of Service

1. Scope of Services

Creative Finance Consultants (a trading name of LHA Holdings Ltd) provides commercial funding consultancy, application facilitation, and capital introduction services. We are not a licensed financial adviser, mortgage broker, or Financial Advice Provider (FAP). We do not recommend specific financial products. All lending and investment decisions are made independently by licensed lenders and investors.

2. No Upfront Fees

No fees are collected through this website. Submitting an enquiry creates no financial obligation. If we are able to assist, our engagement terms — including any success-based fee — are agreed separately in a written engagement letter or Finder’s Fee Agreement before any work commences.

3. Fee Structure

Where a formal engagement is agreed, our fees are success-based and payable only when funding is drawn down or when a capital introduction results in a completed transaction, as specified in the written agreement. The specific fee rate and structure are set out in that agreement.

4. Limitation of Liability

Our maximum aggregate liability to you under any engagement is limited to the amount of any fees actually paid by you under the relevant written agreement. We are not liable for any indirect, consequential, incidental, special, or punitive losses, including loss of profit or loss of opportunity.

5. No Guarantee of Outcome

We do not guarantee loan approval, loan terms, lender participation, investor interest, or any particular transaction outcome. Services are provided on a best-efforts basis. Past introductions or facilitated transactions do not guarantee future outcomes.

6. Client Obligations

You warrant that all information provided to us is accurate, complete, and not misleading. Providing false or materially incomplete information may result in termination of services. You are responsible for obtaining your own independent legal and financial advice before entering into any loan, investment, or engagement agreement.

7. Confidentiality

We treat all information submitted through this website and shared during an engagement as confidential. We will not disclose your information to any third party without your prior written consent, except as required by law or as necessary to provide agreed services.

8. Intellectual Property

All materials, templates, reports, and documentation prepared by us remain our intellectual property until any applicable fees have been paid in full under the relevant written agreement.
