0% business loans of £1,500 - £2,800 are available from the
Carbon Trust to help organisations finance the cost of MCS
certification.
Why a 0% loan makes business sense
- You can borrow between £1,500 - £2,800 interest free
- Fund MCS certification costs and associated training or
consultancy related to implementing a MCS001 document management
system
- The loans are government funded and unsecured
- The application process is straightforward with no arrangement
fees
- You'll receive a conditional offer within 1 week of your
application being submitted
- Loans must be repaid over a period of 2 years
How do I apply for the loan?
Before starting the certification process, download and submit
the application form for a loan
to mcsapplication@carbontrust.co.uk. Subject to
the eligibility criteria, you will receive a conditional loan offer
within 1 week.
Once you have received your conditional offer, you can start
your application for MCS certification. The Carbon Trust will make
the loan available upon receiving a valid MCS certification
number.
If you have started the MCS assessment process you can still
access the loan. Apply at the earliest opportunity as the loan
offer must be dated prior to the award of your MCS certificate
number.
Eligible companies
To qualify for a loan you must be:
- An installer of microgeneration products
- A company registered and operating in Wales
- Financially stable
How do I draw down the loan?
Once you receive your conditional loan offer, you can progress
with your application for MCS certification. When you pass your
assessment all you need to do is inform us when you receive your
MCS certificate number. We will check this number against the MCS
installer database on the MCS
website.
