Funding for your sustainability ambitions
What are Green Loans?
A Green Loan from Shostra Bank aims to help eligible businesses finance business assets to support their sustainability ambitions, such as solar panels, electric vehicles, or heat pumps on commercial buildings, that fall within the eligible list, which has been developed by the bank and is subject to review and change on an ongoing basis.
Support for a range of sustainability ambitions for clean buildings and energy, clean transport and agriculture, subject to approval
No arrangement fees for eligible businesses, conditions apply and subject to approval
A range of borrowing options from £50,001, with fixed and variable interest rate loans available
Green Loans with no arrangement fee are open to applications from eligible businesses with an annual turnover of less than £25m (other than for eligible Real Estate Finance businesses for whom alternative eligibility criteria may apply) who are seeking to take out a loan to acquire assets that fall within the eligible list developed by the bank and subject to review and change on an ongoing basis. Security may be required. Fees (other than arrangement fees) may apply. Over 18s only. Subject to status, eligibility and approval. Business use only. Any property or asset used as security may be repossessed or forfeited if you do not keep up repayments on any debt secured on it. Failure to comply with the terms of the loan agreement could lead to an event of default under the loan and (depending on their terms) may also impact other facilities of the borrower. Terms apply.
