Spread the cost of commercial food mixers from £2,500 to £20,000+ with flexible finance options. HP, lease, or refinance
Yes, food mixers 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 £2,500 to £20,000, 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.

This equipment qualifies as plant and machinery for Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) and full expensing, so the cost can be deducted from taxable profits in the year of purchase for a hire purchase agreement. Finance and operating leases are generally treated as an operating expense, with the payments deducted from profits as they fall due rather than claimed as a capital allowance.
Food mixers are bought by bakeries, patisseries, restaurants and central production kitchens, either to move up from a bench mixer as batch sizes grow, or to replace a machine whose gearbox has worn out from years of heavy dough or cake batter work. They are financed because the step from a bench mixer to a genuinely heavy-duty floor model represents a large jump in cost for a piece of equipment that, on its own, does not generate revenue the way an oven or till does. Planetary mixers from the established manufacturers hold value well on the used market, since the gearbox is built to outlast several sets of bowls and attachments.
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.
