3 Energy Efficiency Financing, and how you can benefit from it Investment in energy efficient equipment makes sound business and environmental sense. And with the affordable and flexible Energy Efficiency Financing scheme brought to you by Carbon Trust Implementation Services and Siemens Financial Services, reducing your customers energy costs has never been easier! Energy Efficiency Financing helps your customers save money, reduce energy waste and ultimately become greener. New, more efficient equipment, should lower your customer s energy bills and with financial payments calculated to be offset by anticipated energy savings, the funding solution from Energy Efficiency Financing is designed to pay for itself. There are a number of financing options available from Siemens Financial Services which, through the Energy Efficiency Financing scheme, can offer many benefits to your customers and can add significant value to your sales proposal.

4 The key selling points: Why your customers will love it! The Energy Efficiency Financing scheme is open to all types of businesses and organisations seeking to invest in cost effective, energy saving equipment. With the value of financing offered by Siemens Financial Services starting from as little as 1,000, and with no upper limit*, customers have the flexibility to conserve working capital for other projects and investments. Finance payments can be deducted from taxable profits (depending on individual circumstances), reducing the net cost of financing the project. The financing scheme is designed so that finance payments are offset against the anticipated energy savings, which means the equipment should pay for itself. Payments can then be arranged over terms from 1 to 7 years, or potentially even longer, and the scheme has the flexibility to customise payments to suit each client s requirements and budgets. The result - a flexible solution, which allows easier budgeting and affordable payments that are not subject to fluctuations in interest rates. The option for Direct Debit payments also means that the scheme is simple, easy and convenient for your customers. Moreover, as Energy Efficiency Financing is offered conveniently at the point of sale, customers can benefit from a faster and easier acquisition process than ever before. And over time, as your customers needs alter and evolve, the scheme also allows the flexibility to change, so that add-ons and upgrades can be accommodated in the future. *Subject to customer credit assessment
