Commercial Financing for Contractors | Michigan Saves

Commercial Financing for Contractors

We offer eligible commercial customers—including businesses; nonprofits; multifamily and public-sector properties, such as municipal office buildings and public schools; and other commercial facilities—a wide array of financing options on prequalified energy measures or improvements recommended by an authorized energy auditor. Our authorized commercial lenders provide this financing at a low cost to you through a simple process.

After these steps have been completed, you can expect final payment from the lender, which will be disbursed directly to you! (Most lenders will prefund a portion of the project upon request—tap individual lenders for details.)

Special Offers

 It’s a simple equation—low interest rates equal greater sales for your business. Michigan Saves contractors who maximize our utility incentives close more sales at higher values. We partner with DTE, Consumers, and SEMCO to offer as low as 0% APR for commercial customers working on eligible improvements within their service territories. We’ve helped hundreds to finance their commercial building HVAC systems, insulation, lighting, and other projects.
