Tell me about your project — I’ll let you know if it makes financial sense

This Is For You If…

You’re upgrading equipment to reduce costs

You want financing that doesn’t hurt cash flow

You’re unsure if the numbers actually make sense

You don’t want to be sold something that doesn’t work

Most Financing Companies Sell Money. We Don’t.

We start by evaluating whether your project actually improves your bottom line.

If it does, we structure the right financing.

If it doesn’t, we’ll tell you — before you take on unnecessary debt.

Smart businesses don't always pay cash — here's why

The right financing structure can help preserve liquidity, protect working capital, and allow your business to move forward without a large upfront cash hit.

Paying Cash

  • Large upfront capital outlay
  • Reduces cash reserves
  • Can limit flexibility for other business needs
  • May delay other growth investments
  • Puts all project cost on today’s balance sheet

Financing the Project

  • Preserves working capital
  • Spreads cost over time
  • Helps align payments with project benefits
  • Can support faster implementation
  • Keeps more cash available for operations and growth

For many businesses, the best choice is not simply whether they can pay cash — it is whether using capital that way is the smartest move for the business.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ’s

Question 1. What type of projects qualify?

We typically help finance commercial HVAC systems, LED lighting retrofits, heavy construction machinery, building automation, manufacturing equipment, and biofuel/EV vehicles. Basically almost every upgrade that improves long-term cash flow and sustainability.

Question 2. Can installation costs be included?

Yes. Depending on the lender and project type, installation, delivery, and certain soft costs may be included in the financing structure.

Question 3. How quickly can funding happen?
 

Many projects can receive financing options as soon as 24 to 72 hours after submission of the required information. The faster you supply the required information, the faster we can move.

Question 4. Do I need perfect credit?
 

No. We work with multiple lending partners and help match projects with the most appropriate financing path. 

Question 5. Can savings justify the financing?
 

Absolutely. Most energy-efficiency projects are evaluated based on how the savings offset the monthly payment. In most cases, project savings offset project expenses.

Question 6. What project sizes do you finance?

Most projects range from $25,000 to $500,000+, with larger transactions considered depending on structure.

C-PACE generally has a $1million minimum, however, if you have a smaller project, reach out and we can discuss how to finance it.
