For developers with mandatory biodiversity obligations, we source and qualify BNG units from our network of Natural England registered habitat bank partners across England.

Our partners hold high-quality, registered habitat across a range of NCA zones — ensuring we can match your specific geographic and ecological requirements with credible, compliant supply.

We manage all counterparty communications and coordinate the commercial process through to transaction close. No upfront cost. Our fee is success-based.

For habitat bank operators seeking to sell BNG units, we build and execute a bespoke outreach programme targeting qualified developers and planning consultancies with live requirements. We manage target identification, direct communications, and the full sales process on your behalf — from first contact through to heads of terms.

For habitat bank operators and landowners holding registered portfolios, we identify and approach institutional buyers — including natural capital funds, ESG-mandated institutions, family offices, and strategic corporates.

We manage the full commercial process discreetly, from targeted outreach through to transaction completion.

Beyond BNG, Esplanade operates across the wider UK natural capital and green finance landscape. As nutrient credit, voluntary carbon, and ecosystem service markets mature, we apply the same bespoke brokerage model — targeted outreach, managed communications, and commercial coordination — to any environmental asset or obligation where a credible market exists.
