We assist your business in obtaining incentives and low-cost capital for significant decarbonization initiatives and energy-efficient renovations, all without impacting your debt ratios.
Impact link bridges the gap between *Aggregators* (joint venture investment funds involving the Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB) and the private sector) and *Businesses* seeking funding for retrofit upgrades to reduce carbon emissions in their operations.
Accessing these funds will not impact your corporate finances, enabling you to invest in the future while lowering your current energy costs.
Many building owners are unaware of the retrofit financing options available in the market. We educate them about these
The Aggregators often face challenges in identifying viable investment opportunities. We take the time to understand their criteria and connect them with suitable projects.
We streamline project and transaction closings by tackling challenges for building owners and the funds.

HOW IT WORKS
We accelerate investments in decarbonization projects and major energy-efficient renovations in the commercial, industrial and multi-residential sectors.
1. Initial Screening
Impact Link collaborates with you (client) to assess whether the project aligns with investment criteria.
2. Audit and Project Plan
Technical partners, Energy Service Companies (ESCOs), will conduct an audit to determine the technical and financial feasibility of the project and formulate a project plan.
3. Investment
Projects undergo assessment to ensure they meet Moody's investment-grade credit rating standards. After approval, clients enter into a financing agreement, and the funds are then disbursed.
4. Installation
ESCOs carry out the project implementation and oversee the commissioning of the equipment.
5. Performance Management
ESCOs consistently verify the energy savings generated by the implemented solutions throughout the term of the financing arrangement.
In collaboration with our partners, we develop and finance energy efficiency, retrofit, distributed generation, and building upgrades for Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional facilities. Of the many benefits of the Energy-as-a-Service model, we combine 100% project financing with end-to-end project development and advisory services to execute your objectives
With broad experience across impact investments, private equity, finance, real estate, and energy, we are here to support you in accessing investment programs that can help your cash flow and bottom line while participating in the transition to a carbon-neutral economy.
