CLEARSWITCH Solutions
Our Programme Explained…
How It Works……
THE PROGRAMME CONSISTS OF JUST 4 STEPS:
1. Firstly, we’ll arrange a no obligation survey of your current lighting, which is also completely free.
2. We’ll then evaluate your requirements and see what lighting installations you need.
3. If you’re happy to go ahead, we’ll then present you with financing options best suited to your needs via trusted financers.
4. Finally, we’ll book the installation of your new LED lights.
Tax Relief
LED lighting is part of the Energy Technology List meaning that, after installing LED Lighting, companies can claim an Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA).
The ECA scheme means that a business can invest in energy-saving plant or machinery that might otherwise be too expensive.
The first year allowances let businesses set 100% of the cost of the assets against taxable profits in a single tax year. This means the company can write off the cost of the new plant or machinery against the business’s taxable profits in the financial year the purchase was made.
An ECA is claimed through a business’s income or corporation tax return in the same way as any other capital allowance. HM Revenue and Customs are responsible for the tax-related aspects of the ECA scheme.
You can talk to us about whether this is the best option for your business.
Grants And Funding
If you change to LED lighting and are based in England, Scotland or Wales your business can benefit from as much as £10,000 in grant support. In addition, the Carbon Trust offers an Interest-Free Loan to all SME’s, supporting their transition to a new LED lighting system
Low Carbon Workspaces is a network of local grants supported by local and central government offering funding solutions of up to 33% (to a maximum of £5,000) off selected installations in many local authorities.
We will automatically check and let you know if your business is eligible for these or any other Grants available at the time you register your interest.
Salix Finance Ltd. provides interest-free Government funding to the public sector to improve their energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions and lower energy bills.
