If you want a boiler that doesn't last that's the make to get.

Oh and pay for it yourself...

But you only rent your office. Heating is covered as part of the rent, like the carpet, walls etc. It's not owned by your company.

I suggest you place your boiler offshore.

Finance quote with typical APR 9.9%

If you must do this (if you must, I suspect you are on the wrong website, BTW) then you'd be much better off looking elsewhere for your loan - 2.8% from Sainsbury's, 3.6% from Metrobank etc depending on the term length. You can get significantly better than their 9.9% unless you are only after a low amount or a short period of time.

Bleed your radiators first, That is fully tax deductible.
