What are sustainability loans?

Sustainability loans are business finance solutions designed to fund energy‑saving and low‑carbon projects. They can cover equipment purchase, installation and, in some cases, associated works and warranties.

• Common projects: solar PV, battery storage, EV charging infrastructure, air‑source / ground‑source heat pumps, LED and HVAC upgrades, insulation and other energy efficiency retrofits.
• Typical loan sizes: from around £10,000 upwards (project and provider dependent).
• Common structures: asset finance, hire purchase, leasing, green term loans and specialist contractor/installer finance.

Who are sustainability loans for?

Sustainability finance is suitable for many limited companies and trading businesses planning capital investment in green technology. Typical recipients include:

• SMEs and growing businesses planning site upgrades
• Landlords investing in energy improvements to commercial properties
• Companies installing EV chargers for staff or clients
• Businesses replacing or upgrading equipment to reduce energy costs

Eligibility typically depends on trading history, turnover band, project value, available security and credit profile. UK Business Loans helps identify suitable lender matches based on these factors.

How UK Business Loans helps you get a free eligibility check and quick quote

Step 1 — Complete our short enquiry form (less than 2 minutes)

Begin with a few simple details: business name, turnover band, estimated project cost, the type of project (e.g., “100kW solar PV + batteries”), and contact details for the decision‑maker. This is an enquiry only — not an application — and it’s free.

Step 2 — We match you to lenders & brokers who specialise in sustainability finance

We use the information you provide to select lenders and brokers that best fit your project type, loan size and business profile. Matching factors include:

• Project scale and asset type (solar, EV, heat pump, etc.)
• Loan amount required and preferred structure (asset finance, lease, term loan)
• Business sector and historical performance
• Security available and credit considerations

Step 3 — Receive a quick quote or contact within hours

After matching, one or more lenders/brokers will typically make contact to clarify details and issue an indicative quote. Response times vary but many enquiries receive a first response the same day during business hours; complex schemes may take up to 48 hours.

Indicative quotes usually include an estimated rate or APR range, suggested term, and any likely security or deposit requirements — all subject to full underwriting and documentation checks.

• Any available security (property, other assets) or deposit you can provide.

Costs, interest rates and what “quick quote” really means

UK Business Loans provides introductions only; lenders set pricing. A quick quote is an indicative price meant to help you compare options quickly.

• Indicative quotes show estimated rates (or APR ranges), term length and typical fees; they are not final offers.
• Final pricing depends on full underwriting, security, insurer/installer warranties and any credit checks.
• Lenders will disclose if their subsequent checks will affect credit records; you will be told before any credit search is run.

Example scenario (indicative only): a mid‑sized installer‑led solar + battery project of £40,000 over 5 years might show indicative rates in the range of 6–9% APR subject to checks and lender appetite.
