Green Asset Finance
Discounted asset finance for electric vehicles and energy-efficient equipment to support sustainability.
What is green asset finance?
Green asset finance is a type of asset finance that allows you to buy equipment and vehicles to help you achieve your sustainability goals. It allows you to spread the cost over time so you don’t pay the full amount upfront.
As it’s part of our Clean Growth Financing Initiative (CGFI), you’ll pay a lower interest rate as long as the asset is used to reduce the environmental impact of your business.
What can you use green asset finance for?
Electric vehicles
From mopeds and cars to coaches and HGVs using electric, hydrogen, hybrid or biofuels.
Heating systems
Biomass boilers, ground source heat pumps, water or air source heating and solar water heating.
Manufacturing equipment
Machinery that improves efficiency, reduces environmental impact or supports the production of sustainable products.

Reduce tax with green asset finance
The Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) is a regular capital allowance which applies to purchased assets that are used and kept within a business. Some or all of the asset’s value can then be deducted from profits before tax is applied. The AIA limit is currently set at £1,000,000.
