Finance Solutions
Join for free and offer your customers more ways to fund their low-carbon home improvements.
Help customers finance solar, battery storage, heat pumps and more, while WHFS supports your MCS business with the regulatory, compliance and practical requirements involved in offering customer finance.

Get the compliance side right
WHFS helps businesses understand and manage the processes involved in promoting and introducing customer finance appropriately.
INDUSTRY UPDATE
GET READY FOR THE GOVERNMENT- SUPPORTED WARM HOMES LOAN SCHEME
The Warm Homes Loan Scheme is a Government-supported, lender-led initiative designed to increase the availability of affordable finance for eligible low-carbon home upgrades across the United Kingdom.
The Scheme is primarily aimed at eligible owner-occupiers and private rented sector landlords who are able to borrow but may face barriers such as high upfront costs or limited access to suitable finance.
Participating lenders remain responsible for product design, underwriting, pricing and lending decisions. The official Scheme Rules also allow supported products to include personal unsecured lending and certain embedded or point-of-sale finance journeys.
