Close Finance is delighted to offer preferential rates for qualifying ‘sustainable finance’ loans.

It’s part of Close Finance’s commitment to support both Guernsey and Jersey’s journey to becoming carbon neutral.

Sustainable finance, or “green lending” as it’s often known, helps make sustainable products more accessible to more people. It can remove the need to cover expensive upfront costs of environmentally friendly home improvements, allowing clients to invest in new technologies, while also lowering the island’s carbon emissions.

Close Finance is working with Little Green – a trusted local provider of renewable energy solutions, to help homeowners make the switch to renewable energy effortlessly.

Commenting on the new partnership, Head of Business Development for Close Finance, Stuart Butler said “people no longer have to wait until they’ve saved enough cash to fund these kinds of projects. Our sustainable finance loans offer a smart way to fund projects now and repay in affordable monthly instalments”, he added. “That’s great for the customer and great for the planet”.

“With expert installation and tailored finance solutions now readily available, there’s never been a better time to invest in your own clean, more cost-effective energy future”, Stuart added.

Products which will be eligible for sustainable finance loans include solar panels, fully electric vehicles and charging points, air source heat pumps, electric boilers and home re-insulation projects, among many more.

The benefits of renewable energy systems have been widely publicised, particularly as energy bills continue to rise. As well as helping to retain energy independence, the investment can reduce your carbon footprint and boost property prices when the time comes to sell your home.

Close Finance is now actively seeking to establish similar partnerships with other local renewable energy solution providers.
