Not positive, but I think not disclosing a commission for arranging financing is illegal.

Isn't disclosing a normal thing to do?

If I say, I can try and help you get financing through my network, and if we put together a deal, I'd like a small commission (2-3-4% success fee), that seems entirely fair. Obviously laws differ based on the country, but I don't see anything being wrong with that if you're being transparant with both parties.

This is very, very common in the traditional business world.

It's called 'disruption.'
Or 'doing things that don't scale'.
Good thing it pays well. :)
