Financing Climate and Sustainable Assets – Is this right for you?

Asset Finance is a flexible solution to help your business acquire the assets that will support your climate and sustainability ambitions. You might consider this if you: 

  • have been impacted by rising energy costs, 
  • supply to a customer base that measures their supplier carbon footprint,
  • want to replace existing assets with a more sustainable option or invest in new assets,
  • look to mitigate climate transition risks within your business or want to future-proof your business.

Finance options

Whether you are looking to fund renewable energy assets as a one-off venture or you are planning a larger project.

Hire Purchase

Spread the purchase cost of your asset, with the option to own it at the end

You’ll usually pay an initial deposit, then pay off the asset's full value through monthly payments. Once the final agreed payment is made, you can own the asset.

Structure payments to fit with your cashflow needs

Reduce monthly payments by opting for a final lump sum – a balloon payment

Choose between fixed or variable rates, whichever suits you best

Reduce tax payments – It may be possible to offset repayment interest against your business profits and claim back VAT. Allowances and capital grants may also be claimable on your agreement. (Special Rules may apply.)

Finance Lease

Lease high value equipment with lower repayments and reduced risks

Lombard will purchase the asset and rent it to you. Rentals can be tailored to your cash flow and you’ll benefit by keeping a large portion of the resale value.

  • Flexible end of term arrangements – When your agreed term is close to finishing, we offer options to end your agreement or re-hire the assets again for less.
  • Get a portion of the resale value – If you choose to let us sell the assets at the end of your lease, you will receive a cut of the resale sum, which will be the asset’s current market value.
  • Tax & Capital allowance – Only pay VAT on lease payments. You may also be able to offset some costs associated with renewable energy assets from your taxable profits.
