Resource Efficient Scotland SME Loans

Funded by the Scottish Government, the scheme aims to support businesses that are looking to reduce costs through improved energy, material resource and water efficiency.  A wide range of measures can be the subject of a loan application (e.g. lighting, glazing, biomass boilers).

The scheme is aimed at:

Scottish businesses that fall within the EC definition of Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME), private sector landlords, not-for-profit organisations and charities. Private sector landlords will be eligible to apply for loans if they are registered as a private landlord with their local authority or if they are able to demonstrate that they are exempt from registration.

Interest Rates:

  • For loans concerning renewable technologies and you are intending to receive the Feed in Tariff (FIT) or Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) the interest rate is 5%
  • If you are not intending to claim the FIT or RHI then the interest rate is 0%.
