Green Loan Pre-Qualification & Documentation Service

A specialized consulting service that audits SMEs' actual operations (energy use, waste streams, supply chain practices), maps their existing efforts to standardized ESG frameworks (CBECC, TCFD, GRI), and produces a pre-packaged ESG dossier + loan-ready documentation that banks accept without re-evaluation. The service visits the facility once, interviews operations managers, collects 3-6 months of utility/waste data, and delivers a 40-60 page ESG profile + executive summary tailored to the specific lender's requirements.

Original Problem

Small and medium-sized enterprises struggle to access green financing due to complex ESG requirements and lack of standardized evaluation frameworks

SMEs in China face significant barriers to obtaining green loans and sustainable financing because financial institutions lack consistent ESG assessment methodologies, making it difficult for businesses to demonstrate their environmental credentials. Current solutions fail because they're either too generic, overly complex, or don't account for the specific operational constraints of smaller enterprises, leaving many unable to access capital for green initiatives despite genuine sustainability efforts.
