Asset finance is like a giant pizza delivery service for commercial solar…

Now, not everyone has cash lying around to pay for solar panels upfront.

Maybe you’ve got payroll to meet, machines to upgrade, or, let’s be honest, a coffee machine in the breakroom that needs replacing again.

That’s where asset finance comes in – a way to go solar without raiding the company safe.

Here’s how asset finance works – the giant pizza delivery metaphor edition…

Think of it like ordering a giant pizza from your favourite takeaway joint:

1. You’re hungry (or in this case, sick of your electricity bills).
2. You order the giant pizza (a.k.a. the commercial solar panels).
3. The delivery driver arrives, you get to eat (the panels start generating electricity)
4. But here’s the best part: You pay later.

With asset finance, your commercial solar system gets installed right away, and you make monthly payments over time.

But here’s the kicker: the money you save on electricity each month is often more than the monthly finance payment.

Typical example from a giant pizza factory:

• Monthly electricity bill (before solar): £10,000.
• Monthly finance payment: £5,000.
• New monthly electricity bill (with solar): £3,000.
• Net savings: £2,000/month.

This is why asset finance can be considered cash-positive from day one.

You’re literally saving money (or least not spending extra) while paying for your panels.

It’s like ordering a giant pizza and finding out the delivery driver has also paid your rent.

…in the example – once the asset finance is settled – £7,000 monthly savings kick in.
