Spread the cost of an audiometer from £1,500 to £12,000 with flexible finance options. HP, lease, or refinance
Yes, audiometers 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 £1,500 to £12,000, 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.

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.

Equipment used wholly for the business qualifies for the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), letting you deduct the qualifying cost of a audiometer from taxable profits in the year of purchase, up to the current AIA limit set by HMRC (check the current threshold with your accountant, as it can change). 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.
Audiometers are bought by independent hearing care practices, alongside opticians and pharmacy groups adding hearing testing as an additional service line, from a single screening unit for a new provider to a full diagnostic audiometer for an established clinic offering a wider range of assessments. Finance is common because an audiometer is usually bought together with a test booth and, often, a tympanometer as one setup rather than purchased alone. Replacement tends to follow software and calibration standard updates rather than the unit breaking down, and multi-site providers commonly finance identical setups across several branches as they roll a hearing service out.
Some specialist lenders consider businesses with imperfect credit histories. You may need a larger deposit or personal guarantee, but options may be available. Fundably may use a soft credit check for matching, which does not affect your credit score. A hard check may happen if you choose to proceed with a lender.
