Yes, av equipments 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 £2,000 to £150,000, and most deals are written over 24–48 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 24 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.

Check EligibilityAV hardware, including projectors, speakers, amplifiers and signal processing equipment, qualifies for the Annual Investment Allowance, so a purchase or HP agreement can be deducted against taxable profit in the year of purchase, and lease payments are deductible in full as they are paid. Installation and cabling are frequently invoiced as labour separately from the equipment; check with your accountant and lender whether this needs to sit inside or outside the capital asset for tax purposes.
The typical buyer is a venue, office, place of worship, education provider or hospitality business fitting out a room or building with sound, projection and control equipment, whether for a single space or across a whole site. AV projects are unusually installation-heavy compared with most other technology purchases: cabling, mounting, room acoustics and commissioning can rival or exceed the cost of the equipment itself, particularly in an existing building rather than new-build construction, so it's worth pricing hardware and labour separately when comparing installer quotes. Display and connectivity standards move roughly every few years, which is why many venues prefer a shorter lease term over buying AV equipment outright for the long term.
