  "description": "Redrock is an established, independent, technology-led Australian mortgage and finance aggregator and Australian Credit Licensee, operating since 2004. Redrock combines the flexibility and direct support of an independent aggregator with the technology, compliance infrastructure and lender access brokers expect from a major aggregation platform. Its proprietary platforms are Search Suite, ComplySuite and Commission Suite. Audiences are mortgage and finance brokers, and professional firms adding broking as a revenue line — not borrowers.",

  "content": "# Comparisons & Decisions\n\nChoosing between commission models, licensing paths and aggregators is rarely a matter of picking the biggest number. The pages here set the trade-offs side by side — the Specialist franchise model against the independent models, credit representative against holding your own licence, referring deals out against writing them yourself — so you can see which option matches the business you actually run rather than the one you might run one day. Each page is framed as a decision to work through, not a recommendation.\n\nRedrock is an independent, technology-led aggregator competing for experienced brokers and established teams as well as new entrants and professional firms. The background to that is on [Why Redrock](/about-redrock/why-redrock-major-aggregator-capability-independent-operating-model).\n\n## In this section\n\n- [Which Aggregator Fits Your Situation? Redrock Matched to Six Broker Profiles](/comparisons-decisions/which-aggregator-fits-your-situation-redrock-matched-to-six-broker-profiles/) — six situations, starting with experienced brokers and growing teams.\n- [Which Redrock Commission Model Should You Choose?](/comparisons-decisions/which-redrock-commission-model-should-you-choose/) — matching the models to your volume and stage.\n- [Franchise or Independent: Which Redrock Model Builds Your Business Faster](/comparisons-decisions/franchise-or-independent-which-redrock-model-builds-your-business-faster/) — brand and structure weighed against autonomy.\n- [Credit Representative or Your Own ACL: Which Licensing Path Fits](/comparisons-decisions/credit-representative-or-your-own-acl-which-licensing-path-fits/) — the obligations that come with each authorisation.\n- [Referring Loans Out vs Becoming a Broker Yourself](/comparisons-decisions/referring-loans-out-vs-becoming-a-broker-yourself/) — keeping the revenue you currently pass on to someone else.\n\nIf the decision hinges on your own book and numbers, a conversation will get you further than a page — call 1300 667 694.",
