Types of Sustainability Finance We Can Introduce

Unsecured Business Loans

Useful for fast access to working capital for smaller eco projects and energy upgrades. Typical amounts start from around £10,000 and can extend to £250,000+ subject to status. Best for trading businesses with solid cash flow and a clear project case.

Asset & Equipment Finance (Lease/Hire Purchase)

Spread the cost of eligible green assets—e.g., solar PV, heat pumps, energy-efficient machinery, or building energy tech. Potential benefits: preserve cash, align payments with projected energy savings. Learn more about asset finance.

Green Vehicle & EV Fleet Finance

Options for cars, vans, HGVs and charging infrastructure via leases and HP. Helps decarbonise your fleet and may reduce total cost of ownership over time. Explore vehicle finance.

Invoice Finance (for Green Projects)

Unlock cash from unpaid invoices to bridge project timelines and installation milestones. See how invoice finance can complement your sustainability upgrade.

Property-Linked/Refurbishment Finance

Funding for EPC improvements, HVAC, insulation, LED refits and building fabric upgrades during renovations. Relevant for landlords, developers and occupiers—see also construction business loans.

Refinance and Consolidation

Restructure existing commitments to free monthly cash flow that can be redirected into sustainability investments. For bridging a gap, you can also consider cashflow loans.

Grants and Incentives (Signpost)

While we don’t provide grants, we can signpost official resources (e.g., GOV.UK programmes and local authority schemes). Loan finance can complement grants or tax reliefs where available.
