Funding and finance for Greener Business

Accessing finance is one of the biggest barriers for businesses looking to cut carbon and energy costs. 
While low-carbon technologies can deliver long-term savings, upfront costs can make them hard to prioritise, especially in a challenging economic climate. The good news is that many measures pay back over time through lower energy bills and improved efficiency, and there is support available to help you get started. 
From SMEs to manufacturers, across Greater Manchester and the rest of the UK there are a range of green finance options that can help your business invest in energy efficiency, renewable energy and low-carbon technologies.
