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 EligibilityClimbing holds, volumes and macro features are removable equipment, bolted to T-nuts on a wall and unbolted again whenever a gym's route-setters reset the wall, so they are treated as plant and machinery and qualify for the Annual Investment Allowance up to £1,000,000 in the year of purchase. This is separate from the wall structure itself, which is financed and taxed differently because it is fixed to the building; keep hold and volume purchases on their own invoice so your accountant can claim them cleanly.
Climbing holds and volumes are bought by bouldering gyms and climbing centres, both when fitting out a new wall and on an ongoing basis as an existing gym expands its hold library or refreshes stock. Unlike the wall structure they attach to, holds and volumes are genuinely portable equipment, they unbolt from the wall, can be moved between sections, and hold reasonable value on the active secondhand market that exists between gyms as operators refresh their libraries and sell on stock they have moved away from. Route-setters need a wide and varied stock of holds and volumes to reset climbs regularly and keep members' routes feeling different from one visit to the next, and it is this need for variety, together with holds wearing smooth and chipping from repeated use and chalk, rather than the equipment failing outright, that drives most replacement spend. Because holds are equipment rather than an installed fixture, financing them does not raise the landlord consent and dilapidations questions that apply to the wall structure itself.
Several of our 200+ lenders specialise in businesses with imperfect credit histories. You may need a larger deposit or personal guarantee, but options exist.
