  Moneyhelpline.com was an independent price comparison service which provided consumers with free, impartial advice on a variety of financial products including credit cards, mortgages, loans and a range of insurance types.
  
  It stopped trading in 2018 after its parent company Fundraising Innovations was taken over by private equity company, Inflexion Capital Partners LLB.
  
  ## Business model
  
  moneyhelpline's comparison services were powered by Beatthatquote at first and then later by Lovemoney.com, Seopa and The Broker Team, other comparison providers. moneyhelpline made money by earning commission from each customer who took out a financial product through them, making the service free to the consumer.
