LDM Finance · resources/blog
Five approved blogs are ready to publish. Each one carries an FMA/CCCFA legal disclaimer — the paragraph that states LDM Finance is a referrer, not a lender or a financial adviser. This is LDM's call as the site owner, not Coreshift's. Below is the same article, blog #5, shown three ways.
Every blog contains a legal disclaimer; please make it hidden but clickable. Since some disclaimers are lengthy and require a large text block, I suggest using a pop-up or dropdown to keep them hidden but clickable, as heavy text blocks can hurt readability.— Nichee Orocio, 22 September

Most NZ business owners spend weeks comparing vehicles and about ten minutes comparing finance structures — and that's exactly where cashflow problems start.
The vehicle choice matters. But the finance structure determines whether that vehicle strengthens your business or quietly bleeds it. A $65,000 ute financed the wrong way can create more financial pressure than a $90,000 one structured correctly.
This article provides general information about vehicle finance structures for New Zealand businesses. It does not constitute financial, legal, or tax advice and does not account for your specific circumstances. LDM Finance operates as a referrer, not a lender or a financial adviser, and connects New Zealand businesses with third-party finance providers. Rates, repayment figures, and examples in this article are illustrative only. Actual terms depend on the lender, the applicant's circumstances, and credit approval. Talk to a qualified financial adviser, your accountant, or the LDM Finance team before making a finance decision.
General information only — not financial advice. LDM Finance is a referrer, not a lender or a financial adviser.

Here's the mistake most business owners make: they negotiate hard on the vehicle price, accept the first finance offer that comes back, and assume the monthly repayment is just the cost of doing business.
| A · Hidden | B · One line + expand | C · Fully visible | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reads without clicking | Nothing | Who LDM is, and that it isn't advice | Everything |
| Effect on readability | Best — article flows uninterrupted | Good — two lines, then back to the article | A large block mid-article |
| Found by Google | Same for all three. The text sits in the page either way, so search engines read it whether or not it's expanded. | ||
| Matches the rest of the site | No — other finance pages show it in full | Partly | Yes |
| Build effort | Same for all three — under an hour, whichever is chosen. | ||
What's actually being decided. Nothing is being removed in any of the three. The full wording is on the page in every version — the only question is how much a reader sees before they click.
The reason it's worth a moment rather than a quick yes: this particular paragraph is the one that tells a reader LDM is a referrer rather than a lender or adviser. Every other finance page on the site shows that in full. Option A would make the blog the one place it's tucked away, which is the kind of inconsistency worth choosing on purpose rather than by accident.
Coreshift has no view to impose here and isn't the right party to sign it off — LDM brought its own privacy policy and terms precisely because this is a finance site. Tell us A, B or C and all five blogs go live the same day.
