How Income-Based Repayment Models Unlock Green Energy for Businesses
Transitioning to renewable energy often requires significant upfront investment, which can deter many businesses despite the long-term savings and environmental benefits. At Bridgeman Co., we champion income-based repayment models that align financing costs with the actual productivity gains from green energy projects.
As the saying goes, the Stone Age did not end because we ran out of stones; we transitioned to better solutions. The same opportunity lies before us with energy efficiency and clean energy

Instead of traditional loans secured by collateral, income-based repayment ties repayments to measurable operational savings—such as reduced energy costs per unit produced. This approach reduces financial risk for clients and financiers alike. Businesses only pay back as they realize cost savings, ensuring cash flow remains positive throughout the transition.
This model also attracts a broader range of financial partners, including banks, private equity, and hedge funds, because repayments are linked to verifiable performance metrics. For clients, it means no heavy upfront capital expenditure and a smoother path to sustainability.
By structuring deals this way, we enable companies in manufacturing, agriculture, and commercial real estate to adopt solar, biogas, and other renewable technologies confidently. The result is a win-win: reduced carbon footprint, enhanced operational efficiency, and improved financial health.
Our specialty lies in B2B Green energy projects, especially within Real-Estate, Agriculture, Manufacturing and Education sectors.
Fundamentally the ability to repay for the project over the long term is the most important requirement, meaning that as a business, you need to be earning revenue.
Our work covers the entire East Africa. It is important to note that there are areas where we will work with partners to ensure a smooth project completion.
What we are essentially talking about is that, we structure the project together with our financial partners to ensure there is as minimal upfront investment on the client side as possible and hence no financial risk on the client’s side.
