Powering the Future: How FinMatch Helps Renewable Installers Grow Their Business

The UK’s push for net-zero is fuelling demand for renewable energy solutions. From solar panels to heat pumps, homeowners are eager to invest in sustainable upgrades – but upfront costs often stand in the way.

Choose the Right Lender

With a growing number of banks and specialist lenders in the renewable sector, finding the right partner can be tricky. 

Many have rigid and selective criteria. 

FinMatch connects you with the best lender for your business, ensuring quick setup and maximum approvals.

‍

Get Authorised with Confidence

In the UK, offering consumer finance over 12 months or with APR >0% requires FCA authorisation.

Our top recommendation for renewable installers? Direct Authorisation: Budget ~£3,000 and 3 months – essential for flexibility and control.

Alternative: Become an Introducer Appointed Representative (IAR) under an authorised firm for a faster start, but note limitations like being tied to one provider and marketing approvals.

Smart Tip: Start by offering 0% finance for up to 12 months (no authorisation needed) while waiting for direct authorisation.
