Window & door
installer business loans.
Pay supplier deposits, upgrade glass-handling equipment or add a van while keeping money available for wages and everyday bills. We help Irish window and door installation businesses compare equipment finance and business loans through specialist and non-bank lenders, for replacement work, new builds and commercial projects.
Installation & workshop equipment
For suitable equipment used to handle, prepare and install windows and doors.
- Eligible glazing robots, vacuum lifters and glass-handling machinery
- Suitable cutting and fabrication machinery for businesses that also manufacture
- Leasing or hire purchase on suitable new or used equipment
- Equipment-finance deals from €10,000, typically with a 10% dealer deposit
- Smaller tool packages depend on the items and lender
- Send a supplier quote so we can check equipment suitability and purchase value
Vans & business vehicles
For carrying frames, glazing, tools and your installation team.
- Lease or hire purchase may suit eligible new or used vans
- Single vehicles and growing fleet needs can be considered
- Vehicle age, value, supplier and affordability determine the options
- Include any specialist racking or vehicle conversion in the quote for review
- Compare deposit requirements and VAT timing before choosing a product
- An unsecured loan may help with a deposit or private-seller purchase, subject to eligibility
Term loans for orders & growth
For established businesses paying suppliers or taking on a larger workload.
- Window units, doors, glazing, hardware and supplier deposits before fitting
- Wages, recruitment, marketing and workshop or showroom improvements
- At least 12 months trading and one full year's completed accounts
- Latest accounts showing €100,000 or more turnover and a net profit
- No recent missed payments on business bank statements
- The lender assesses affordability and existing commitments
Flexible loans & payment gaps
For the gap between ordering materials, completing installation and getting paid.
- Flexible repayment options from 9 months trading with steady cash flow
- Around eight or more deposits a month for that flexible repayment option
- Invoice finance may suit eligible business-to-business invoices for completed work
- One-off or ad hoc invoices from €100,000, or a facility for the wider ledger
- Customer deposits, stage payments and supplier lead times affect the funding need
- Compare finance costs with the margin and payment timetable on the contract
Business finance only, not personal loans or finance for a homeowner's windows and doors. Unsecured term loans are not registered against property or business assets, but some lenders ask for a personal guarantee. All options depend on lender assessment, purchase suitability and affordability.
Plan around orders and installation dates
A glass-handling machine used across many projects is a different purchase from bespoke windows ordered for one customer. Compare asset finance for suitable equipment with term and flexible repayment loans for supplier deposits and wider business costs. Allow for delivery lead times, wages and customer stage payments before deciding how much to borrow.
For qualifying commercial invoices, explore invoice finance. See our construction finance, trades finance and renovation finance pages for related work, or new-business finance if you are just starting out.

Common questions
Can I finance glazing and installation equipment?
Suitable glass-handling and installation machinery may qualify for leasing or hire purchase. Fabrication equipment may also be considered if your business manufactures windows or doors. Send a supplier quote showing the items and value; equipment age, suitability and business affordability matter. Not every small tool qualifies.
Can a business loan cover window and door supplier deposits?
A term loan may help an established installation business cover supplier deposits, frames, glazing and other job materials. These costs are different from equipment your business keeps and uses. Term loans require one full year's completed accounts, turnover of €100,000 or more, a net profit and no recent missed payments.
Can you help with a van and glass-carrying racks?
We can look at leasing or hire purchase for an eligible van. Include racking or specialist conversion costs in the dealer quote so the lender can review them rather than assuming they qualify. A business loan may be an alternative for a deposit or private-seller purchase, subject to eligibility.
Can I fund invoices while waiting for a contractor to pay?
Invoice finance may suit qualifying business-to-business invoices for completed work. One-off or ad hoc invoices start at €100,000; a wider ledger facility is another option. Customer eligibility and contract terms matter. Do not assume homeowner invoices, retentions, disputed invoices or future work qualify.
Can a new window and door installation business apply?
Equipment and vehicle criteria vary, so ask us to review a specific quote. Term loans need at least 12 months trading and one full year's completed accounts, with the turnover and profit criteria. Our new-business finance page explains earlier cash-finance options and pre-trading supports.
What should I send to get started?
Send recent business bank statements, the amount needed and its purpose. Include equipment or vehicle supplier quotes and your latest completed accounts for a term loan. Explain when supplier deposits fall due, expected delivery and installation dates, and when customers will pay. We will confirm any further lender requirements.
Do you charge a broker fee?
No. We do not charge clients a fee; lenders pay us a commission when funding completes. Lender interest and charges are separate and should be checked before accepting an offer.
