Environmental Upgrade Finance
If your business wants to do a building upgrade or install solar you may have access to government enabled finance. Environmental Upgrade Finance is a fixed rate, long term loan that gives you access to the capital you need to unlock savings and make your building more sustainable. The building owner enters into an agreement with their local Council and a lender in what is called an Environmental Upgrade Agreement.
Repayments are made through your local Council over terms of up to 20 years. Loans are tied to the building, not the owner, which means no upfront cash or capital is required.
