Spread the cost of broadcast equipment from £5,000 to £200,000+ with flexible finance options: HP, lease or refinance.
Yes, broadcast 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 £5,000 to £200,000, 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.

Cameras, switchers, lighting rigs and audio consoles qualify 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. Broadcast software licences, such as newsroom systems, editing suites or graphics packages, are typically sold on a subscription and are a running cost that sits outside the equipment finance agreement.
The typical buyer is a broadcaster, production company, streaming operation or corporate studio building or refreshing a studio, outside broadcast kit or a fixed production setup, often triggered by a client contract requiring a specific camera or delivery format, or by existing equipment falling behind current resolution and codec standards. Broadcast equipment spans a very wide price range from a single camera package to a full multi-camera studio build, and production companies working across different formats and client requirements often value the flexibility of a lease over a longer-term ownership commitment, since camera and switching technology moves quickly enough that equipment bought outright can fall behind client expectations well before it physically wears 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.
