Commercial renewables finance: funding for a sustainable business

As energy costs fluctuate and environmental obligations grow, UK businesses are increasingly investing in renewable technology. We arrange commercial asset finance and business loans for solar PV, EV charging, heat pumps, battery storage, and biomass boilers.

Why Sorbus Finance?

A clear, commercial approach

Independent commercial broker

We are an independent credit broker, not a lender. We work with a wide panel of commercial lenders to find competitive funding options for your business.

Preserve working capital

Renewable installations require significant upfront capital. Asset finance allows you to spread this cost over a fixed term, preserving cash for day-to-day operations.

Strictly commercial finance

We specialise purely in business finance. We understand commercial structures, from limited companies to agricultural partnerships, ensuring the finance matches your operating model.

Comprehensive project funding

Many of our lenders can consider funding the entire commercial project, including groundworks, installation, and infrastructure upgrades, subject to credit approval.

In almost all circumstances we do not charge a broker fee. Should a broker fee be chargeable you will be made aware clearly in advance and it will be agreed in writing before you proceed. Read our Initial Disclosure.

Profile
  1. STEP 1

    A conversation with a broker

    You talk to a real Sorbus broker about the business, the purpose and what is affordable. No application at this stage.

  2. STEP 2

    Credit placement

    If you choose to go further, we prepare the case and decide which lenders on our panel of 150+ are worth approaching.

  3. STEP 3

    Lender assessment

    The lender, not Sorbus, underwrites and makes the credit decision. Approval is never guaranteed.

  4. STEP 4

    Documentation

    If a lender offers terms and you accept, we help coordinate agreements and payout paperwork with you.

Every step after the first is optional. You can stop after the conversation. Sorbus is a broker, not a lender.
