Yes, construction 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 £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.

Check EligibilityConstruction equipment qualifies for Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), letting you deduct the full purchase cost from taxable profits in year one, up to £1,000,000. HP agreements allow capital allowances. Lease payments are typically fully deductible from profits.
Construction equipment, from excavators and dumpers to compactors and site plant, is bought by groundworks and civil engineering contractors, house builders, and plant hire companies stocking a fleet to hire out. Most buyers finance rather than pay outright because equipment needs to be earning on site from day one, and a hire purchase agreement can be structured around contract income rather than requiring capital up front. Replacement is usually driven by hours run and rising repair costs on an ageing machine rather than a fixed age, with hire fleets cycling stock faster than owner-operators. A large, liquid used market, supported by export auction demand, keeps residual values solid.
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.
