Finance combined heat and power (CHP) units from £30,000 to £500,000, for sites with a constant, simultaneous need for heat and electricity. HP, lease, or refinance
Yes, chp units 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 £30,000 to £500,000, and most deals are written over 12–84 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.

CHP units generally qualify as plant and machinery for capital allowances, so a business can typically set some or all of the cost against taxable profits through the Annual Investment Allowance or other first-year reliefs, subject to your total qualifying spend for the year. Any specific energy or carbon-related reliefs for CHP change from time to time, so check current status directly with HMRC or gov.uk guidance rather than assuming a figure carries over from a previous year.
CHP only makes sense for a site with a genuinely constant, simultaneous need for both heat and electricity through most of the year, which narrows the realistic buyer to hospitals, leisure centres, hotels, breweries, food processors and similar continuous-load sites; a building that only needs heat in winter or power during the day is usually a poor fit, because CHP's efficiency advantage comes from using the 'waste' heat from generating electricity, and that only pays off if there's somewhere for the heat to go most of the time. Because CHP units run almost continuously rather than intermittently, ongoing maintenance and gas engine servicing tends to be a bigger part of total cost of ownership than for most equipment on this site, and is worth pricing alongside the finance from the outset.
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.
