Which disclosure must be provided prior to a referral in a controlled business arrangement?

In a controlled business arrangement, it is essential to provide a disclosure of the relationship prior to making a referral. This disclosure serves to inform the consumer about the potential financial interest that one party may have in the services being offered. By clarifying the nature of the relationship, the consumer can better assess the impartiality and motivations behind the referral. Understanding this relationship is crucial for consumers to make informed decisions and to ensure transparency in the transaction process.

The other disclosures, while relevant in different contexts, do not specifically address the necessary transparency about the relationship between the parties involved in a controlled business arrangement.
