Spread the cost of festival power distribution and site cabling from £3,000 to £100,000+ with flexible finance options. HP, lease, or refinance
Yes, festival power distributions 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 £3,000 to £100,000, and most deals are written over 24–72 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 24–48 hours. Used machines are financeable too, usually with a shorter term.

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.

Festival power distribution equipment qualifies for Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), letting you deduct the qualifying cost from taxable profits in the year of purchase. HP allows you to claim capital allowances directly; finance lease payments are generally deductible against profits instead, which suits operators buying a large amount of cable and distro stock in one order to cover a season of bookings.
Festival power distribution, distro units, facility panels and site cabling, is bought by power and production hire companies alongside their generator fleet, so that electricity can be split safely and legally across a stage, campsite or vendor area. This equipment earns its return across many separate events rather than one booking, so it is how often the distro stock is deployed through the season that services the finance. Demand is concentrated in the UK event season from spring to early autumn, and lenders familiar with the sector assess trading across several seasons rather than a single quiet quarter. Distribution equipment is generally durable and well suited to a second-hand trade, since a facility panel or distro unit has few moving parts to wear out.
Some specialist lenders consider businesses with imperfect credit histories. You may need a larger deposit or personal guarantee, but options may be available. Fundably may use a soft credit check for matching, which does not affect your credit score. A hard check may happen if you choose to proceed with a lender.
