The Green Business Loan Scheme works to directly address a range of common problems and provides a package of support that helps reduce carbon emissions and allows businesses to save on future energy bills.
It combines:
- Access to fully and part-funded consultancy support that helps businesses understand their own path to decarbonisation

- Patient capital, with upfront capital repayment holidays and a loan term linked to project payback
Typical projects that are eligible for funding through the Green Business Loan Scheme are:
- Heating, ventilation and air conditioning – replacement, management, low carbon technology

- Renewables – solar PV, ground/air/water source heat pumps
