What challenges are you facing?
Your expansion has stalled
New machinery, an extra production line, or charging hubs exceed your existing connection capacity, and waiting times for grid reinforcements keep growing.
Peak demand incurs unnecessary costs
Without active load management, you pay premium rates for demand spikes that battery storage or energy management systems could shave off. That provides an immediate return on investment.
Payback periods can be difficult to prove
Lenders require a solid business case: avoided grid fees, prevented downtime, and potential subsidies presented in a coherent, watertight plan.
How we solve it
Asset finance and leasing
Batteries, transformers, charging infrastructure, and commercial solar installations can be financed with the asset itself serving as primary collateral.
Business cases built on savings
We structure the application around verifiable cost savings and risk mitigation, not just balance sheet strength.
Combining grants and finance
We integrate EIA, SDE++, or regional grant schemes directly into the financing structure, ensuring your working capital is not unnecessarily tied up.
How the application works
1. Outline your situation
Current grid connection, consumption profile, and planned additions.
2. Financial modelling
Savings, payback timeline, and the net effect on your cash flow.
3. Tendering finance
Approaching lenders experienced in evaluating energy installations.
4. Delivery
Drawdown schedule aligned with the commissioning of the equipment.
Frequently asked questions
Can I finance a battery storage system in full?
Often, yes. Battery storage has a clear residual value and delivers measurable cost savings, allowing asset finance and leasing structures to cover a high percentage of the capital cost.
Is it worth doing if I am already on the waiting list for a grid upgrade?
Yes. Storage and energy management shave peak demand, allowing you to run higher operational capacity within your existing connection while you wait.
Do grants factor into the financing?
Approved grants reduce the net capital outlay and enhance the business case. We structure the financing around the exact timing of grant disbursements.
