A guarantee is not a purchase subsidy
A guarantee scheme may help a lender provide credit, but the investment plan and repayment capacity still need assessment. A quotation alone does not establish feasibility or entitlement to the scheme.
Make energy-saving assumptions explicit
Distinguish measured consumption from expected energy prices, maintenance costs and equipment performance. Compare a base case with a less favourable case and alternatives such as keeping existing equipment. Show how repayments fit available cash if savings arrive later.
Check each financing and tax route separately
Loans, guarantees, grants and investment deductions serve different purposes and have separate conditions and application dates. Review the options before entering final commitments. The dossier should connect each expenditure to the business plan and explain which part of the financing covers it.
