Can you finance a digital signage?

Yes, digital signages 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 £1,000 to £70,000, and most deals are written over 24–48 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 24 hours. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

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
Commercial Display Panel (43"–55") £600 – £1,800 per screen Indoor Commercial Display
Large-Format Commercial Display (65"–86") £1,800 – £5,500 per screen Large-Format Display
Outdoor Digital Totem/Menu Board £3,000 – £9,000 per unit Outdoor Signage
Media Player & Mounting Kit (per screen) £150 – £500 per screen Playback Hardware

Tax benefits

Screens, media players and mounting hardware qualify for the Annual Investment Allowance, so a purchase or HP agreement can be deducted against taxable profit in the year of purchase, and lease payments are deductible in full as they are paid. The content management software used to schedule and update what plays on the screens is usually a monthly or annual subscription and is a running cost that sits outside the finance agreement.

Market context

The typical buyer is a retailer, restaurant, gym or office replacing static printed signage with screens for menus, promotions, wayfinding or internal communications, often across several locations at once to keep messaging consistent. Commercial-grade displays are built to run for extended daily hours without the panel degrading the way a consumer television would, so hardware tends to have a longer working life than the content strategy running on it, which is one reason many businesses separate the hardware purchase from a shorter content management software contract. Installation, particularly for outdoor totems or screens mounted at height, can add materially to the cost beyond the price of the screen itself.

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

Does digital signage finance cover the content management software?
No, typically not. The screens, media players and mounting hardware can be financed as physical assets, but the content management software used to schedule, update and remotely manage what appears on each screen is billed as an ongoing subscription, usually per screen per month, and is treated as a running cost rather than something with resale value. Some vendors bundle a basic content platform free with the hardware and only charge for premium features, so it's worth checking exactly what triggers a subscription fee before comparing suppliers.
Is a commercial display different from a normal consumer TV, and does it matter for finance?
Yes. Commercial-grade displays are built for extended daily operation, often 16 hours or more without a scheduled off period, and typically carry a longer warranty than consumer televisions designed for a few hours of evening viewing. Lenders and installers generally expect commercial-grade hardware for business signage, since a consumer TV run continuously tends to fail well before the finance term ends.
Does the finance cover installation, especially for outdoor or high-mounted screens?
It can, and installation is worth including on the same quote where possible, since mounting an outdoor totem or a screen at height often requires specialist fixing, weatherproofing or scaffolding that adds meaningfully to the total cost. Ask your installer to itemise hardware and labour separately so you and your lender both understand what the finance figure covers. For outdoor installations in particular, factor in any electrical work needed to power the screen, since this is sometimes quoted separately from the mounting itself.
How many screens does a typical multi-site rollout include?
It varies by business type: a single restaurant might need one or two menu boards, while a retail chain rolling out promotional screens across stores could be financing dozens of units on one agreement. Because commercial displays and content platforms are usually standardised across a chain, most multi-site rollouts are financed as a single project rather than site by site.
How quickly can digital signage finance be approved?
Most applications are approved within 24 hours, and digital signage purchases under £30,000 are often approved the same day, provided the business has a clean credit history and the supplier's quote is straightforward to review. Larger orders, multi-site rollouts, or purchases bundled with other equipment on the same agreement can take a little longer, since the lender needs to review the full specification and how the purchase fits with what the business already has in place.
