The benefits of an Operating Lease

An Operating Lease provides a way to finance energy-efficient upgrades without capital expenditure, allowing organisations to treat these improvements as an operational expense. This model keeps your balance sheet lean, providing flexibility and tax advantages.

Benefits of an Operating Lease.

  • No capital expenditure – Access energy solutions without affecting your CapEx.
  • Off-balance sheet financing – Preserves financial ratios and borrowing capacity.
  • Flexible terms – Tailored lease durations based on your organisation’s requirements.
  • Tax benefits – Lease payments can often be deducted as business expenses.
  • Technology upgrades – Option to upgrade or add equipment during the lease term.
  • Public sector compliant – Adheres to DfE Financial Handbook, suitable for the education and healthcare sectors.

Our funding solutions

We provide several ways to compliantly and simply fund your decarbonisation projects, allowing your organisation to engage with multiple projects at once with no upfront cost. Our fully funded option offers equipment and installation at no upfront cost, with a fixed monthly fee over the service life, often offset by energy savings. Alternatively, our client-funded option allows you to invest in your infrastructure by purchasing equipment like LED lighting, solar panels, EV chargers, or analytic meters. These solutions include comprehensive site management, covering ongoing maintenance and system oversight. Additionally, you can generate extra revenue from EV chargers and export excess solar energy to the grid.

Avoid the wait and cost of delays with our zero upfront solutions

If you’re exploring grants for energy efficiency projects, like LED lighting or solar PV, you’re likely aiming to improve sustainability, cut energy costs, and reduce your carbon footprint. While government grants may seem attractive, they often come with significant challenges—bureaucracy, long wait times, potential rejection, and strict compliance requirements. All of these can lead to wasted time and missed opportunities, especially as energy prices rise and carbon reduction goals become more pressing.
