Trade finance lets an EV charging installer buy chargers and groundworks materials up front, then repay once a site goes live and the client pays.
Fitting EV chargers means buying the hardware before the site pays for it. Charge points, cabling, switchgear and the groundworks materials are ordered from suppliers and importers, dug in and energised, and only billed once the units are live and signed off. Trade finance pays the supplier when the order is placed, so a site can be programmed in without the charger bill landing on the installer's own balance first.
Workplace, depot and destination contracts increasingly come as multi-site rollouts, and a single rapid charger is far from cheap. With repayment waiting on the live site, an installer can commit to a fleet rollout and buy the hardware each location needs instead of pacing the programme to whatever the last site has paid in.
An EV charging installer funds hardware and groundworks well ahead of a live, paid site. The pressures show up on most contracts:
Tando keeps funding human, so an EV charging installer works with a dedicated account manager who understands rollout timing and hardware procurement rather than an automated platform. Most decisions come back within three to five days, sometimes within hours. The firm is NACFB accredited and places funding through FCA-regulated lenders.
Take an installer energising a depot of fleet chargers: a facility pays for the hardware, and repayment follows once the site is live and the client settles. As installers buy across one rollout after another, a revolving credit facility keeps working capital on tap between sites.
Direct funding for the cost of goods based on a confirmed customer order.
A globally recognised guarantee of payment to your supplier upon verification of shipping documents.
Optimising cash flow by allowing you to pay suppliers early while extending your own payment terms.
Yes. The supplier is paid when the charge points and cable are ordered, so a site can be programmed in without the hardware bill landing on your balance. You repay once the site is energised and the client settles. It lets an installer take on a rollout and buy the hardware each location needs rather than pacing it to earlier sites.
Yes. A lot of charging hardware is sourced from overseas, and trade finance can fund those supplier payments. Where a manufacturer wants assurance before shipping, a letter of credit can sit alongside the facility, with the bank undertaking payment against agreed documents. Your account manager arranges the structure that suits how and where you source, so a job is not held up by an upfront overseas payment.
Yes. A rollout across several sites means buying hardware for each before the payments arrive, which ties up real cash. A facility funds the hardware at the point of order and repays as the jobs pay. It lets an installer take on a fleet or multi-site contract and buy what each location needs rather than pacing the rollout to whatever cash earlier sites have freed up.
Often, yes. Tando places EV charging installers with bad credit or a bounced payment that other brokers avoid. The order book and supplier terms carry more weight than a single past problem. Lending partners are FCA-regulated and look at current trading, so an earlier difficulty does not automatically rule out a workable facility for the business.
Facilities typically run from 75,000 to 500,000 pounds, sized to your hardware spend and job values. Firms turning over 200,000 pounds or more a year are the typical fit. Because a fleet or multi-site rollout can tie up significant cash, the right figure tends to track the size of the contracts you are running rather than a single fixed limit.
Usually within three to five days, and sometimes within hours when a supplier deadline or a site start date is at risk. A dedicated account manager handles the case directly rather than an automated queue, so a hardware order can be funded quickly enough to keep a rollout moving and the installation on schedule.
