ARMCO’s addition to its portfolio will help companies meet Net Zero goals.
ARMCO, the next-generation property and finance services consultancy, has added green finance offering Green Liquidity to its expanding group of firms covering specialist finance streams, corporate support, land procurement and development, and insurance services. With a growing green agenda across all sectors, the offering will help businesses and organisations meet sustainability goals with tailored finance solutions designed to be cost neutral.
Green Liquidity’s solutions cover investments for a variety of green technologies and functions, from electric vehicle charger roll outs and CHP heating systems, to LED lighting installation or solar PV. The firm’s specialist experience means bespoke packages to cover 100 per cent of costs, matched to cash flow and return on investment goals, can be developed.
Green Liquidity CEO Dave Rowlands explained: “There is a compelling need for all businesses to adopt a sustainable approach, but while governments and manufacturers make legislation and develop new technologies, they don’t provide an answer to the obvious question of how customers are going to pay for the investment. The aim of Green Liquidity is to bring sustainable financial solutions to the end user: we give them the opportunity to invest without cash restraint and plan for the investment to move them to Net Zero.”
Many firms are opting for leasing when it comes to investing in green technologies, according to Dave, who says the benefits of leasing enable the business to conserve and control cash, negate up upfront costs and upgrade outdated equipment instantly. Payments are 100 per cent tax deductible against profits and 100 per cent of the project, including ongoing maintenance and service costs, are covered.
Dave said: “The magnitude of change required to achieve Net Zero may seem daunting for many businesses and actually become a barrier to doing anything at all. But quite apart from it becoming a real requirement – and being a barometer of a firm’s ethical standing – it can actually save the company money, which is a common goal in all organisations. The growth in investment in climate technology solutions means there are a variety of steps businesses can make that can start small and be built upon. From installing LED lighting or recycling equipment in an office building, through to implementing voltage optimisation in a manufacturing plant, there are many options and with our tailored finance solutions, the cost doesn’t need to be barrier to adoption.”
ARMCO Founder Russell Martin said: “The addition of Green Liquidity is a real asset to the ARMCO group and fills a gap in the specialist finance market. With a real and growing focus on climate technology solutions, along with a driven agenda for all businesses to move to a Net Zero state, there is major requirement for this kind of specialist offering, and we’re pleased to be able to offer this in our all-encompassing group.”
