Renewable energy finance enables businesses to purchase energy systems and assets that promote a greener future and contribute to the UK’s sustainability ambitions.
The government has a target to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions by 80% before 2050 as part of its commitment to help tackle climate change. We can help many businesses meet the challenge of reducing their carbon footprint by investing in renewable energy technology.
UK Business Finance are experts at arranging renewable energy finance, ensuring you can receive the solution that is most suited to you.
Our expert renewable energy finance division can organise finance for a wide range of renewable assets, including wind turbines, solar panels, heat pumps, biomass boilers, smart meters, and electric vehicle chargers.
Retain cash: Renewable energy finance ensures businesses can acquire the assets they need through a payment structure that doesn’t deplete a large chunk of cash. Rather than paying for the total cost of the asset upfront, you pay the deposit, which is then followed by a series of monthly payments up until the end of the finance agreement. This means you can retain the cash and pay for the asset in a way that suits your financial requirements.
Refinance to gain funding: Through asset refinancing, a business can sell and lease back an asset. Through doing this, a business will receive a large percentage of the assets value, while still retaining its use for operations. Once the agreement is finished and the business has made the repayments, they will resume ownership.
Future-proof your business: Switching to green alternatives is a decision that more businesses are choosing. Renewable energy methods are likely to become the default choice of every business. Investing in your renewable energy equipment sooner, rather than later, will position your business ahead of the competition.
Budgeting: Financial solutions offer businesses set financial terms that they will make periodically. Because of this, businesses will be able to understand when they must make a repayment and for how much. This makes for simpler budgeting as the business can reserve cash in advance for their finance payments.
Increased flexibility: Businesses looking to purchase renewable energy assets can have the finance agreement tailored to their financial needs. This ensures a business can receive a finance solution that aligns with their cashflow cycle, allowing for consistent repayments.
UK Business Finance operates as a commercial finance broker, giving us the ability to search across an extensive panel of lenders to secure funding that is precisely matched to the demands of your renewable energy project.
Here is how we can help:

Businesses investing in renewable energy can access a range of finance solutions depending on the assets they are looking to acquire and their broader financial position. Asset finance and finance leases spread the cost of energy systems and equipment across a series of fixed monthly repayments, while asset refinance allows businesses to release capital from assets they already own. Unsecured loans provide an alternative for businesses with funding requirements that fall outside a standard asset purchase.
UK Business Finance can help businesses find a renewable energy finance solution that fits their needs. Whether you are looking to invest in new energy technology or refinance existing assets, our team can manage the process from start to finish.

To boost your chances of approval, it’s important to maintain a good credit score and keep your financial documents well-organised. Demonstrating stable income and a healthy trading history will be beneficial. Reducing any existing debts can also improve your affordability profile. Additionally, clearly outlining the purpose of the finance and how it will benefit your business can help reassure lenders of your reliability.
We can provide solutions including hire purchase agreements, finance leases and asset refinance. As well as this, we can arrange unsecured loans and working capital loans.
While specific criteria can vary between lenders, generally, you will need to demonstrate that you are a registered UK business, provide full annual accounts, previous bank statements, plus personal details such as full name, date of birth and personal address.
The terms and interest rates may depend on multiple factors, including the age and condition of the asset, the amount being financed, the length of the repayment term, your business’ creditworthiness, current market interest rates and the specific finance product chosen.
To apply, you will need to provide a range of documents to verify your business’s financial health. Documents to provide often include your business’s latest financial statements, 6 months of company bank statements, full name, address, DOB and homeownership status of all directors.
With UK Business Finance, you can finance a wide range of different agriculture assets. These include wind turbines, solar panels, heat pumps, biomass boilers, smart meters, electric vehicle chargers, solar battery storage systems, combine heat and power systems, and a range of other construction equipment.
