Barclays Green Loan

How it works

If you’re looking to fund an environmental or clean energy project, our guidance and sector expertise could help to make it happen². 

You could borrow money to fund all green changes to your business and green projects, including 

• Harnessing and storing solar and wind energy 
• Improving EPC ratings
• Upgrading to eco-friendly machinery 

If it’s a green project and good for the planet, we should be able to help.

A few things to consider

• The length of the loan term can impact the interest rate you pay
• If you repay all or part of the loan early, a prepayment fee may be payable and interest payable over the loan term could be higher
• Security may be required³
• Lending fees and associated borrowing costs will apply
• If you decide to cancel a fixed interest rate, you may have to pay breakage costs

• Your business must meet the European Commission’s definition of an SME, which means having fewer than 250 employees and turnover of less than €25m
• The loan is only available for sustainable green projects – check if your project’s eligible [PDF, 1.6MB]

You should speak with an independent financial adviser if you need advice on whether a green loan is suitable for your business.

If you’re ready to apply, we’ll need some information about you and your business, such as

• Your trading accounts, business plan and details of profits and loss
• Details about how you’re planning to use the green loan 

We’ll try to give you a full decision within a few days but sometimes, we may need a little more information from you. If we do, we’ll get in touch.  

Our loans aren’t available for real estate businesses and are subject to normal lending assessment, status and application. Terms and conditions apply.
