Looking to invest in more green for your business? Then find out quickly how to get funding for your sustainable projects so you can get a great deal done.

Sign up for crowdfunding

With crowdfunding, you raise money from the general public. It allows more people to contribute to your sustainable project, even for a relatively small amount. You start a campaign on a platform set up for this purpose. The platform also determines the conditions for the campaign, such as the minimum amount to be raised. There are platforms that exist specifically for financing sustainable projects and that are industry-specific. Do some good research on the platforms and ask entrepreneurs who have funded a project this way about their experiences and tips.

Borrow money at low interest rates

Or finance your sustainable project with the Green Projects scheme (regeling Groenprojecten). Apply to your bank or investor for a green certificate to be able to borrow at lower interest rates than those on the market.
