Yes, commercial fridges 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 £900 to £8,000, and most deals are written over 12–60 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.

Check EligibilityCommercial fridge equipment qualifies for Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), letting you deduct the full cost from taxable profits in year one, up to £1,000,000. HP allows capital allowances. Lease payments are fully deductible against profit.
Every catering business needs at least one commercial fridge, and buyers range from a single-site café replacing a tired unit to a restaurant group standardising cold storage across several kitchens. Upright and undercounter fridges from the established UK refrigeration manufacturers are built to run continuously and hold decent resale value if serviced, which supports both a new and a used market. Most operators finance fridges as part of a wider equipment order rather than as a single item, since the ticket size on its own is often modest.
Several of our 200+ lenders specialise in businesses with imperfect credit histories. You may need a larger deposit or personal guarantee, but options exist. Checking your options here does not affect your credit score, because we do not run a credit search to match you. A lender will run their own checks only if you decide to apply.
