Can you finance a dental cabinetry?

Yes, dental cabinetrys 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 £40,000, and most deals are written over 12–72 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 24–48 hours. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

Representative example

On a purchase price of £15,000: a 10% deposit of £1,500, then 48 monthly payments of £316 at 5.9% APR representative (fixed). Total amount payable £16,668, including the deposit. The rate you are offered depends on your business and the asset.

What buyers actually specify

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.

Machine or specification Guide price Type
Single-surgery cabinetry package £5,000 – £12,000 Single-Surgery Cabinetry (specification class)
Multi-surgery cabinetry system £15,000 – £30,000 Multi-Surgery Cabinetry (specification class)
Bespoke reception and waiting area cabinetry £8,000 – £18,000 Front-of-House Cabinetry (specification class)

Tax benefits

Dental cabinetry qualifies for Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), letting you deduct the qualifying cost from taxable profits in the year of purchase, up to the current annual limit. HP purchases attract capital allowances, and lease payments are generally fully deductible against profits.

Market context

Dental cabinetry, the fitted units, worktops and storage that go into each surgery, is bought mainly by CQC-regulated practices opening a new site, converting a shell unit, or refurbishing existing surgeries to a consistent standard across a group. It is usually specified and fitted alongside the chair, compressor and suction system as part of a single build rather than bought on its own, so many practices finance the whole surgery fit-out together rather than treating cabinetry as a separate purchase. Because a fit-out is tied so closely to the practice itself, lenders financing larger fit-outs often take the practice's goodwill and established patient list into account alongside the value of the cabinetry and fixtures. Replacement is generally driven by a refurbishment programme or a change in layout, such as adding a decontamination area, rather than the units themselves wearing out. There is little used market for dental cabinetry, since it is built to fit a specific room.

Bad credit?

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.

Frequently asked questions

Can I finance cabinetry as part of a full surgery fit-out?
Yes, this is the most common way dental cabinetry is financed. Most lenders will put the cabinetry, chair, compressor, suction and lighting on one agreement covering the whole fit-out, rather than treating cabinetry as a separate purchase. This keeps a new surgery build or refurbishment to a single monthly payment and a single application, which is simpler than financing each element on its own.
What deposit do I need for dental cabinetry?
For hire purchase, most lenders ask for a 10–20% deposit, calculated against the whole fit-out where cabinetry is financed alongside other equipment. Finance leases and operating leases are often available with no deposit required. Because cabinetry is bespoke and tied to a specific room, lenders will usually want a firm quote from your fitter before confirming terms.
Does finance cover installation and labour, not just materials?
Yes, most lenders will finance the full cost of a cabinetry package, including design, materials, delivery and fitting, rather than just the manufactured units. This reflects how dental cabinetry is normally sold and installed as one project by a fit-out contractor. It's worth getting an itemised quote from your supplier so the lender can see exactly what's included in the finance amount.
How quickly can I get dental cabinetry finance approved?
Most applications are approved within 24–48 hours for a straightforward cabinetry purchase. Where cabinetry is part of a larger new-build or full surgery refurbishment involving several suppliers, underwriting will review the whole project together, which can take a few days longer, particularly for a multi-surgery fit-out with a larger total cost.
Can I finance bespoke cabinetry as well as standard ranges?
Yes, lenders don't generally distinguish between bespoke and standard cabinetry ranges, since both are financed against the supplier's quote rather than a catalogue price. Bespoke cabinetry built to a specific room layout is common in dental fit-outs, so most specialist lenders are used to financing it, provided the quote is itemised and comes from an established fit-out contractor.
