Spread the cost of a green screen studio build from £800 to £100,000 with flexible finance options. HP, lease, or refinance
Yes, green screen studios 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 £800 to £100,000, and most deals are written over 12–60 months with a deposit of around 10–20%. Decisions typically take 24 hours – 2 weeks. 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.

Green screen studio equipment and fit-out costs qualify for the Annual Investment Allowance (AIA), letting you deduct the full cost from taxable profits in the year of purchase, subject to the current AIA limit. Hire purchase lets you claim capital allowances as you own the asset from day one. Finance lease and operating lease payments are treated as a revenue expense and are usually fully deductible against profits.
Green screen studios are built by production companies, content studios and rental houses ranging from a portable backdrop and lighting kit that packs down between shoots to a full cyclorama room with a curved wall built into the fabric of the building. A portable kit is a piece of equipment in the ordinary sense, while a fixed cyclorama build is closer to a fit-out project, involving the wall construction, flooring, lighting rig and ventilation together, and is typically quoted and financed as one project rather than itemised piece by piece. Because studio income is project-based, lenders assessing a fixed studio build will typically look at booking history and contract pipeline alongside standard accounts, similar to how they'd assess any other production business. Replacement or refurbishment of a fixed cyclorama is usually driven by wear on the paint finish and flooring from continuous use rather than the space becoming technically outdated.
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.
