Can you finance a aesthetic laser?

Yes, aesthetic lasers are financed as a standard asset purchase, usually on hire purchase or a lease, with the machine itself acting as the security. UK prices typically run £10,000 to £60,000, and most deals are written over 12–72 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 24–48 hours. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

What buyers actually specify

Guide prices for sizing a finance agreement, not quotes. Manufacturers in this market mostly price on application, so where a current UK list price could not be confirmed the row describes a specification class rather than naming a model. Your supplier quote is what the agreement is written against.

Machine or specification Guide price Type
Q-switched Nd:YAG laser system £15,000 – £25,000 Q-Switched Laser
Diode laser hair removal system £10,000 – £20,000 Diode Laser

Tax benefits

Equipment used wholly for the business qualifies for the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), letting you deduct the full cost from taxable profits in the year of purchase, up to the current £1,000,000 AIA limit. Hire purchase lets you claim capital allowances as you own the asset from day one. Finance lease and operating lease rentals are treated as a revenue expense and are usually fully deductible against profits, which is why many practices prefer leasing for equipment that needs replacing on a fixed cycle.

Market context

Aesthetic and cosmetic laser platforms sit in a different regulatory position from clinical medical devices, and treatments such as laser hair removal or non-surgical skin rejuvenation performed by a non-healthcare professional are not currently regulated by the CQC in the same way clinical procedures are; oversight instead currently sits mainly with local authority licensing, and the government has indicated further licensing changes are expected for non-surgical cosmetic procedures more broadly. Buyers range from single-practitioner beauty and aesthetic clinics to multi-site groups, and finance is assessed the same way as any equipment purchase, on the business's trading history and projected treatment revenue rather than on the clinical setting itself. Given the range of specific licensing requirements by local authority and by the qualifications of the operator, clinics should confirm their own compliance position directly with their local authority or professional body rather than relying on general guidance.

Bad credit?

Several of our 200+ lenders specialise in businesses with imperfect credit histories. You may need a larger deposit or personal guarantee, but options exist. Checking your options here does not affect your credit score, because we do not run a credit search to match you. A lender will run their own checks only if you decide to apply.

Frequently asked questions

What regulatory position applies to an aesthetic laser business?
This varies by local authority and by treatment type, and the position has been subject to government review, so it's worth confirming directly with your local authority licensing team and any relevant professional body rather than relying on general information. Finance itself doesn't depend on your regulatory status, but lenders will ask about the business and treatments offered as part of the application.
Can newly established aesthetic clinics get finance?
Yes, lenders finance sole traders and newly established aesthetic clinics, though as with any new business you may be asked for a personal guarantee or a higher deposit than an established multi-site provider. As with any new business, the lender is likely to ask for a personal guarantee from the owner alongside the standard application, which is normal practice for a limited company with a short trading history rather than a sign of a weaker application.
Is leasing common for aesthetic laser equipment?
Yes, many clinics lease rather than buy outright, since laser platforms are updated relatively often and leasing makes it easier to move to a newer system at the end of the term rather than owning ageing equipment. The right choice often comes down to how the practice wants the asset to sit for accounting purposes and how confident it is about needing the same equipment for the full term, which is worth discussing with your accountant alongside the finance quote.
What deposit is typical?
Hire purchase usually asks for 10–20% deposit; finance and operating leases often require none. Higher-value multi-wavelength platforms may see lenders ask for a deposit depending on trading history. Putting down more than the minimum deposit lowers the monthly repayment and can support a better headline rate, which is worth weighing against keeping cash in the business for working capital instead.
How quickly can I get approved?
Most aesthetic laser finance applications are approved within 24-48 hours for established businesses; newly formed clinics may take a little longer while the lender reviews the business plan and projected revenue. Having a recent set of accounts, a supplier quote and the full equipment specification ready at the point of application tends to speed the decision up, since most of the time in any application goes on the lender confirming trading history and affordability.
