Our mission:
CleanFi exists to make buildings and communities resilient, green, and healthy to occupy. We do that by supporting all the financing needs of required infrastructure upgrades and creating as simple a path to funding as possible.
What we do:
CleanFi is a free platform designed to lower the soft costs associated with those commercial building improvements that advance resiliency, environmental health, resource efficiency and resource independence. We help fund hundreds of project scopes that touch on every aspect of a building’s envelope and functionality.
CleanFi.com is a financing platform for small-to-mid C&I and municipal  retrofit projects that help those properties meet ESG (Environmental/Social/Governance) objectives.

We support the $25,000 to $5,000,000 building improvement market by providing instant and actionable financing options from 3rd party funders to contractors and building owners/managers.

The sub-$5MM building retrofit market is underserved by most funders because it is too difficult to service and does not yield enough revenue without scale.  But 90% of the US’ 6 million commercial buildings are less than 50,000 sq ft and will require sub-$1M financing. CleanFi serves that market by creating efficiency via automation of proposal, application and pre-underwriting.

CleanFi evens the playing field by taking a search-engine approach to finding funding solutions from financiers, recreating their mechanisms, terms, rates and profiles on our platform with the funder’s participation, support, review and control.

As contractors and building owners input projects, our platform matches them to appropriate funders and instantly returns financing approximates that are actionable; users can forward them, alter the project, and apply right then using a form customized and doc upload list to match that funder’s underwriting needs.

What we help finance:

We present long-term financing solutions for anything that improves the environmental impact of a commercial real estate property’s:

  • building envelope (roofs, outside walls, windows and doors,..)
  • structural resiliency and integrity
  • resource efficiency (energy, water, airflow)
  • resource independence (renewable energy, storage, thermal,..)
  • transportation requirements (EVcharging, H2 fueling,..)
  • internal air quality (heat pumps, HVAC, control,…)
  • ability to move to a Net-Negative status.
Which properties are eligible?

CleanFi has funding products from numerous financing institutions; we focus on those that want to compete, or solve a specific problem, or work with a specific region. We serve any commercial property anywhere in the United States, retrofit or ground-up, agriculture or urban, single-proprietor or HOA, skyscraper or strip-mall, government or private sector,

We do not guarantee funding; all applications are subject to any single funder’s specific guidelines, underwriting targets and restrictions.
