0% APR finance scheme

A 0% APR finance scheme has being launched by Atlas Copco Compressors UK to encourage investment in energy efficient compressed air technology. The scheme is available on equipment ordered from 1st July 2011.

Elwyn Smiles, regional sales manager Northern Europe, Atlas Copco Customer Finance said: "The original Carbon Trust 0% loan scheme was a real boon for industry and we were involved in many projects which used the funding it provided.We do not want to see that affordable funding just disappear and so as part of our commitment to energy efficiency, the environment and the continued recovery of British industry, we are introducing our own 0% finance offering for Atlas Copco equipment." The loan can be taken out for a period of up to seven years and the amount can be anything from £1000 upwards. Atlas Copco's offering is available to everyone - not just SME's (subject to credit checks).

Additionally, applying for the loan is straightforward.

Atlas Copco can provide details of the carbon reduction achieved and there are no carbon assessment criteria to meet for equipment to qualify for the funding. Loan approval and funds release are smooth and quick and not reliant on government bureaucracy.
