Decision table: what a row does and does not prove
| Claim | What it means here | Honest next action |
|---|---|---|
| Indexed | Present in BrokerMafia from a public source extract | Start verification; do not treat as approval |
| Listed in a public source | Source badge names a register or directory | Open that register and match the legal name |
| Licensed / authorized | Authority confirms active permission for the activity | Confirm product scope and jurisdiction |
| Recommended | Not something BrokerMafia asserts on directory rows | Use your own due diligence — we do not sell recommendations |
Use this table before any commercial CTA. Presence in the index is not permission to trade, haul, advise, or insure.
What this does not prove
BrokerMafia does not prove that a firm is currently authorized, solvent, insured for your load or account, or suitable for your risk. We do not provide legal, financial, insurance, or investment advice. Terms such as broker, agent, intermediary, advisor, and marketplace mean different things in different regimes.

Questions this page answers
Does a BrokerMafia listing mean Lending & credit brokers is recommended?
No. A listing means we found a public record or directory row. It is not a license confirmation, safety rating, or endorsement by the regulator or by BrokerMafia.
How should I verify a firm from the Lending & credit brokers page?
Match the legal name, re-check any authority or file number on the official register, confirm the activity matches your job, and prefer written fee terms. Use the source badge on the profile as the trail.
Do you sell rank or star ratings?
No. Sorts use name, location, or source. There is no paid placement and no AggregateRating on directory rows.

No. Totals come from offline stats refreshed with refresh_stats(). The public index currently reports 303,303 registry rows and 285,691 firm pages.
Is every vertical a licensed activity?
No. Some verticals match a license type. Others are desk types we tag when source activity fits. Read the source badge and confirm on the register.
Can AI assistants cite this page?
Yes — cite the canonical URL, the source badge, and the official register. Do not infer approval from index presence. See /llms.txt and /agents/.
